Subject: [PATCH 0/2] null_blk: zone resource management fixes
Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2026 22:21:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261021202100.2017938-4-cassel@kernel.org> (raw)

Patch 1 fixes writing, opening and finishing a closed zone when both the
open and the active zone limits are reached: null_blk fails the request
instead of closing an implicitly open zone, as ZBC-3 and NVMe ZNS
require.

Patch 2 fixes zone_readonly and zone_offline, which can close an
unrelated zone, or leak the closed zone count.

Both issues were reproduced, and the fixes tested, in QEMU, with
null_blk devices created through configfs (memory_backed=0 and 1,
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y).

Developed with the help of an AI coding assistant.

Niklas Cassel (2):
  null_blk: fix opening closed zones at the active zone limit
  null_blk: don't finish zones to set them read-only or offline
