Subject[PATCH 0/2] Bio flags use zone cache when available.
Date
Hi,

As per Christoph's request this patch incorporates Hannes' cache of zone
information.

The approach is to provide the same blkreport format as would be done
when BLK_DEV_ZONED is not enabled via an ioctl.
Reset WP, Open, and Close zone will update the zone cache.

Using blkdev_issue_zone_report() from within the kernel the report
will still come directly from the media. I am considering an option
for the ioctl to force pulling the zone report from the media when
BLK_DEV_ZONED is enabled and using the resulting information to
refresh the zone cache. It is not clear that this is useful so I
have not included that in this patch.

The follow-on patch just enables the zone cache to be populated
using a Seagate's HostAware drive.

This series is based off of Linus current tip post (f38d2e5313f0af..)
and builds on top of the previous series of block layer support:
Add ioctl to issue ZBC/ZAC commands via block layer
Add bio/request flags to issue ZBC/ZAC commands

as well as the series post by Hannes'
sd_zbc: Fix handling of ZBC read after write pointer
sd: Limit messages for ZBC disks capacity change
sd: Implement support for ZBC devices
sd: Implement new RESET_WP provisioning mode
sd: configure ZBC devices
...
