Subject: [PATCH v5 0/5] ublk: enable zoned storage support

From: Andreas Hindborg <a.hindborg@...sung.com>

Hi All,

This patch set adds zoned storage support to `ublk`. The first 3 patches do some
house cleaning in preparation for the last patch. The last patch adds support
for report_zones and the following operations:

 - REQ_OP_ZONE_OPEN
 - REQ_OP_ZONE_CLOSE
 - REQ_OP_ZONE_FINISH
 - REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET
 - REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND

Changes for v5:
 - Merge zone append patch and zone ops patch
 - Use defines instead of enum for opcodes
 - Add a helper `ublk_dev_is_zoned()`
 - Add a helper `ublk_dev_is_user_copy()`
 - Fix a leak in `ublk_report_zones()`
 - Use goto to handle cleanup in `ublk_report_zones()`
 - Change name of module from `ublk` back to `ublk_drv` and rename source files
 - Fail to add device if user copy is not supported (implicitly fail to start device under same condition)
 - Fail to add device if kernel is not compiled with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED
 - Fail to apply device parameters if chunk_sectors is not set while zoned support is requested
 - Change kconfig entry
 - Check max open/active zones are valid
 - Document UBLK_IO_OP_REPORT_ZONES buffer format
 - Use function stubs rather than if(IS_ENABLED(...))
 - Improve validation of zoned parameters

A user space component based on ubdsrv is available for testing [1] with the
"loop" target. No changes are required for user space for v4 -> v5.

Read/write and zone operations are tested with zenfs [3].

The zone append path is tested with fio -> zonefs -> ublk -> null_blk.

The implementation of zone append requires ublk user copy feature, and therefore
the series is based on branch for-next (6afa337a3789) of [4].
