These are declarations, shouldn't they be dummy definitions instead?

e.g.
static int ublk_revalidate_disk_zones(struct gendisk *disk) { return -EOPNOTSUPP; };


It would be nice if they could be avoided altogether.

Looking how e.g. null-blk and btrfs has solved this:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.2/fs/btrfs/Makefile#L39
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.2/drivers/block/null_blk/Makefile#L11

They have put the zoned stuff in a separate C file that is only compiled
when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is set.

I'm not sure if a similar design is desired for ublk or not.

However, if a similar design pattern was used, it could probably avoid
some of these unpleasant dummy definitions altogether.


Kind regards,
Niklas
