Dmitry Fomichev 95bfec41bd virtio-blk: add support for zoned block devices
This patch adds support for Zoned Block Devices (ZBDs) to the kernel
virtio-blk driver.

The patch accompanies the virtio-blk ZBD support draft that is now
being proposed for standardization. The latest version of the draft is
linked at

https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/issues/143 .

The QEMU zoned device code that implements these protocol extensions
has been developed by Sam Li and it is currently in review at the QEMU
mailing list.

A number of virtblk request structure changes has been introduced to
accommodate the functionality that is specific to zoned block devices
and, most importantly, make room for carrying the Zoned Append sector
value from the device back to the driver along with the request status.

The zone-specific code in the patch is heavily influenced by NVMe ZNS
code in drivers/nvme/host/zns.c, but it is simpler because the proposed
virtio ZBD draft only covers the zoned device features that are
relevant to the zoned functionality provided by Linux block layer.

includes the following fixup:

virtio-blk: fix probe without CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED

When building without CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED, VIRTIO_BLK_F_ZONED
is excluded from array of driver features.
As a result virtio_has_feature panics in virtio_check_driver_offered_feature
since that by design verifies that a feature we are checking for
is listed in the feature array.

To fix, replace the call to virtio_has_feature with a stub.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
