This series improve device mapper support for zoned block devices and of targets exposing a zoned device. The first patch improve support for user requests to reset all zones of the target device. With the fix, such operation behave similarly to physical block devices implementation based on the single zone reset command with the ALL bit set. The following 2 patches are preparatory block layer patches. Patch 4 and 5 are 2 small fixes to DM core zoned block device support. Patch 6 reorganizes DM core code, moving conditionally defined zoned block device code into the new dm-zone.c file. This avoids sprinkly DM with zone related code defined under an #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED. Patch 7 improves DM zone report helper functions for target drivers. Patch 8 fixes a potential problem with BIO requeue on zoned target. Finally, patch 9 to 11 implement zone append emulation using regular writes for target drivers that cannot natively support this BIO type. The only target currently needing this emulation is dm-crypt. With this change, a zoned dm-crypt device behaves exactly like a regular zoned block device, correctly executing user zone append BIOs. This series passes the following tests: 1) zonefs tests on top of dm-crypt with a zoned nullblk device 2) zonefs tests on top of dm-crypt+dm-linear with an SMR HDD 3) btrfs fstests on top of dm-crypt with zoned nullblk devices. Comments are as always welcome.
