Subject: [PATCH 04/12] virtio-blk: report the effective zone write granularity
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 22:57:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260825205748.679968-5-cassel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260825205748.679968-1-cassel@kernel.org>

For ZBC/ZAC devices the write granularity is the physical block size, so
a 512e SMR disk exposed through a host_device backend has a logical block
size of 512 and a zone write granularity of 4096. We told the guest driver 512
while raw_co_zone_append() rejects anything that is not 4096 byte
aligned, so the driver saw a plain I/O error for a request it had been
told was valid.

Report the larger of the backend granularity and the logical block size
instead. The guest driver cannot issue writes finer than the logical
size, so the larger of the two is the constraint that applies. This
matches what a Linux guest derives for itself: blk_validate_zoned_limits()
raises zone_write_granularity to the logical block size, and
blk_stack_limits() stacks it with max().

Add it as a helper next to blkconf_blocksizes(), since it is derived from
a BlockConf and the limits of the backend below it, and use it for the
zone append offset check in check_zoned_request(), which validated
against bs->bl.write_granularity. The value reported to the driver and
the value that requests are validated against then cannot drift apart.
The helper cannot return zero because blkconf_blocksizes() always leaves
a logical block size behind, so the check no longer needs to guard
against an unset granularity.
