Subject: can we drop the bio based path in null_blk
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2024 09:49:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240123084942.GA29949@lst.de> (raw)

As we found out recently null_blk never splits bios in bio mode, thus
ignoring a lot of it's paramters and having buggy zoned device
handling.

Is there any good reason to keep this mode around given that all relevant
hardware drivers use blk-mq, and the non-so-relevant ones not using
blk-mq probably should?
