fio may be executed concurrently with a block device revalidation by
the kernel. Device revalidation may lead to the block device capacity
to be changed to a smaller value (device changed) or to even 0 in case
of revalidation failure. In such case, the BLKREPORTZONE ioctl
executed from read_zone_info() may report a success with an empty zone
report when the start sector for the report is above the new capacity
of the device. This leads to an infinite loop inside parse_zone_info()
and the fio run never terminating.
Fix this problem by returning -EIO from read_zone_info() thus
avoiding the infinite loop in parse_zone_info(). This change does not
affect the normal case with a stable device as read_zone_info() is
always called with a valid start sector that does not result in an
empty zone report.
