[PATCH v4 8/8] sd_zbc: clear zone resources for non-zoned case

[Martin K. Petersen]

Damien,

> For host-aware ZBC disk, setting the device zoned model to
> BLK_ZONED_HA using blk_queue_set_zoned() in
> sd_read_block_characteristics() may result in the block device
> effective zoned model to be "none" (BLK_ZONED_NONE) if partitions are
> present on the device. In this case, sd_zbc_read_zones() should not
> setup the zone related queue limits for the disk so that the device
> limits and configuration is consistent with a regular disk and
> resources not uselessly allocated (e.g. the zone write pointer
> tracking array for zone append emulation).
>
> Furthermore, if the disk zoned model changes at run time due to the
> creation of a partition by the user, the zone related resources can be
> released.
>
> Fix both problems by introducing the function sd_zbc_clear_zone_info()
> to reset the scsi disk zone information and free resources and by
> returning early in sd_zbc_read_zones() for a block device that has a
> zoned model equal to BLK_ZONED_NONE.
