For the uninitiated: ZBC host-managed devices (aka shingled or SMR drives) have partitioned the drive into several zones, most of which require sequential writes. To handle this the patchset implements a rbtree for the zone information, which will be filled out during device detection. The rbtree is hooked to the request queue, as it's envisioned that other layers might want to access it, too. (Like the device-mapper target I'm working at :-). Additionally the devices have the habit of spewing out read errors for uninitialized areas, making working with those devices awkward as the libata error handling takes ages to recover. To handle that I've implemented a new BLKPREP return value 'BLKPREP_DONE', allowing for short-circuit those commands (as they won't return any value anyway). Oh, this patchset is based on my earlier patchset 'libata: ZAC host-aware device support'. The entire patchset(s) can be found at git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hare/scsi-devel branch zbc.v1 As usual, comments and reviews are welcome.
