Yes, I considered it. Damien and Christoph have asked for it to separate ioctls.

I believe we get into atomicity concerns if we do ranges, and action only supports a single zone. I like to align with the ZNS API as much as possible, and let the user-space application track errors per set desc ext action.

Thanks for the feedback.
Besides the users I have in mind, do you have users for which you need the ability for user-space to access zone descriptor extensions data? Is this a need to have or nice to have feature from your point of view?
