FYI, with this patch series, I created the new dm target and ran blktests zbd group for it. And I observed zbd/007 test case failure (other test cases passed). The test checks sector mapping of zoned dm-linear, dm-flakey and dm- crypt. Some changes in the test case look required to handle the new target. -- Shin'ichiro Kawasaki -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
