[PATCH v11 01/13] scsi: scsi_debug: Refuse a zoned device with a non-zero lowest aligned LBA

[Niklas Cassel <cassel@kernel.org>]

scsi_debug reports the lowest_aligned module parameter in the LOWEST
ALIGNED LOGICAL BLOCK ADDRESS field, see SBC-6 r02 (T10/BSR INCITS 587),
5.20.2, but nothing else in the driver acts on it.

On a zoned device a non-zero value puts the start of every zone in the
middle of a physical block. ZBC requires a write to a sequential write
required zone to end on a physical block boundary, so a host writing in
units of the reported zone write granularity could never write such a
zone at all.

Refuse the combination rather than emulate a device that cannot be used.

Tested by loading the module with each combination:

  zbc=managed lowest_aligned=8    refused, -EINVAL
  zbc=aware   lowest_aligned=8    refused, -EINVAL
  zbc=managed lowest_aligned=0    loads
  lowest_aligned=8                loads, as the device is not zoned
