Hello Jens,

Thanks for having taken a look. That change has been made in the patches I
just posted on the fio mailing list.

+AD4- zbd+AF8-init() should not be something that
+AD4- is unconditionally called. Only do it if ZONE+AF8-MODE+AF8-ZBD is set and make
+AD4- that explicit.

There is a test in the zbd+AF8-init() code that makes fio report an error
message if --zonemode+AD0-zbd has not been specified for zoned block devices:

	if (td-+AD4-o.zone+AF8-mode +ACEAPQ- ZONE+AF8-MODE+AF8-ZBD) +AHs-
 		for+AF8-each+AF8-file(td, f, i) +AHs-
			if (get+AF8-zbd+AF8-model(f-+AD4-file+AF8-name) +ACEAPQ- ZBD+AF8-DM+AF8-HOST+AF8-MANAGED)
				continue+ADs-
			log+AF8-err(+ACIAJQ-s: Using --zonemode+AD0-zbd is mandatory for host-managed drives+AFw-n+AFw-n+ACI-,
				f-+AD4-file+AF8-name)+ADs-
			return 1+ADs-
		+AH0-
	+AH0-

I think that error message is very helpful for people who run fio for the
first time against a zoned block device so I would like to keep that error
message. However, I'm not sure where you would like me to move that code if
zbd+AF8-init() is only called for --zonemode+AD0-zbd?

+AD4- Also kill zbd querying in zbd+AF8-init() if we haven't asked for it.

Can you clarify this? parse+AF8-zone+AF8-info() and read+AF8-zone+AF8-info() are only called
if --zonemode+AD0-zbd has been specified. The only new query that is triggered
from zbd+AF8-init() for regular block devices is get+AF8-zbd+AF8-model(). That function
reads /sys/dev/block/.../queue/zoned but does not try to perform any ioctls
that are specific to zoned block devices.

Thanks,

Bart.
