[PATCH 00/13] Introduce cached report zones

[Damien Le Moal <dlemoal@kernel.org>]

The patch series implements a cached report zones using information from
the block layer zone write plugs and a new zone condition tracking. This
avoids having to execute slow report zones commands on the device when
for instance mounting file systems, which can significantly speed things
up, especially in setups with multiple SMR HDDs (e.g. a RAID volume).

The first patch improves zone resource updates. The following 3 patches
cleanup and improve handling of zone reports and of other zone
management operations. From patch 5 to 10, cached report zones in
implemented and made available to users with a new ioctl() command.

Finally, patches 12 and 13 introduce the use of cached report zones in
the mount operation of XFS and BTRFS.

These patches are against Jen's for-next tree.
