Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] docs/qcow2: add the zoned format feature
Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2023 16:57:59 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230814085802.61459-2-faithilikerun@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230814085802.61459-1-faithilikerun@gmail.com>

Add the specs for the zoned format feature of the qcow2 driver. If
the zoned_profile is set to `zbc`, then the qcow2 file can be taken
as zoned device and passed through by virtio-blk device to the guest.
If it's `zns`, then it can be passed through by virtio-blk device or
NVMe ZNS device as a ZNS drive.
