In case of ublk, the application has to be trusted, and the situation is same with other user-emulated storage, such as qemu. > have offsets and length, so it's not clear what the zeroying is supposed > to achieve.

That is why the only workable way is to zero the remainder in consumer of OP, imo. Thanks, Ming
