The zone mgmt commands are neither write nor reads commands. I guess, one could characterize them as write commands, but they don't write any data, they update a state of a zone on a drive. One should keep it as is? and make sure the zone mgmt commands don't get categorized as either read/write.

Since the open, close and finish operations support modifying zone data I propose to characterize these as write commands. How about the following additional changes: - Make bio_check_ro() refuse open/close/flush/reset zone operations for read-only partitions (see also commit a32e236eb93e ("Partially revert "block: fail op_is_write() requests to read-only partitions"") # v4.18). - In submit_bio(), change op_is_write(bio_op(bio)) ? "WRITE" : "READ" into something that uses blk_op_str().
- Add open/close/flush zone support be added in blk_partition_remap().

Thanks,

Bart.
