From: Niklas Cassel <niklas.cassel@xxxxxxx> Hello there, This series improves zbd initialization, by making it more robust. Previously, zbd_create_zone_info() could return success at the same time as f->zbd_info was never initialized. Remove ZBD_IGNORE to avoid this combination from being possible. Also, zonemode=zbd can now be used with regular files by emulating zones inside the file. (Just like how we already support emulating zones inside a regular block device). Kind regards, Niklas Changes since v1: -Picked up Damien's Reviewed-by tags on patch 1 and 4. -Addressed Damien's review comments on patch 2 and 3.
