Yeah, this function is used in [3/3] only, so in may go after this patch [2/3] as a separate patch.

It looks it won't be good, since this will require to declare REQ_NOZERO
in a separate patch. This will tear off the flag declaration from the logic.

> Also, should we consider other code path used q->limits.max_write_zeroes_sectors?

Other code paths should not dereference q->limits.max_allocate_sectors, unless
it is directly set in not-zero value. In case of max_allocate_sectors is zero,
high-level primitives (generic_make_request_checks(), __blkdev_issue_write_zeroes(), ..)
complete such the bios immediately. Other drivers may need additional work
to support this, and really only subset of drivers need support of this, so this is
not a subject of this patchset.

Hm, it looks like there is an exception, which may inherit stack limits from children.
Device-mapper will pick all the limits we enable for children.
We may disable REQ_WRITE_ZEROES|REQ_NOZERO directly there, since it's not supported
in this driver yet.

Are you hinting at this here?
