Subject: [PATCH v7 0/3] 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 two 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

A user space component based on ubdsrv is available for testing [1] with the
"loop" target.

Read/write and zone operations are tested with zenfs [2].

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 [3].

Changes for v7
 - Style fixes
 - Rework error handling for `ublk_ctrl_start_dev()`
 - Remove `BLK_DEV_UBLK_ZONED`
 - Add check for IO command support on command enqueue
 - Remove check from `ublk_report_zones()`
 - Hoist check out of `ublk_revalidate_disk_zones()`
 - Remove check from `ublk_dev_param_zoned_apply()` when !CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED
 - Rename `get_nr_zones()` -> `ublk_get_nr_zones()`
 - Open code `set_nr_zones()` in `ublk_param_zoned_apply()`
 - Reorder fields of `struct ublk_rq_data` to pack better
 - Remove redundant checks for chunk_sectors
 - Hoist check for user not setting zoned parameters for zoned ublk device out
   of `ublk_param_zoned_validate()`
 - Remove helper `ublk_dev_params_zoned()`
