This patch removes the check in the null_blk_zoned for report zone
command, where it checks for the dev-,>zoned before executing the report
zone.
The null_zone_report() function is a block_device operation callback
which is initialized in the null_blk_main.c and gets called as a part
of blkdev for report zone IOCTL (BLKREPORTZONE).
blkdev_ioctl()
blkdev_report_zones_ioctl()
blkdev_report_zones()
blk_report_zones()
disk->fops->report_zones()
nullb_zone_report();
The null_zone_report() will never get executed on the non-zoned block
device, in the non zoned block device blk_queue_is_zoned() will always
be false which is first check the blkdev_report_zones_ioctl()
before actual low level driver report zone callback is executed.
Here is the detailed scenario:-
1. modprobe null_blk
null_init
null_alloc_dev
dev->zoned = 0
null_add_dev
dev->zoned == 0
so we don't set the q->limits.zoned = BLK_ZONED_HR
2. blkzone report /dev/nullb0
blkdev_ioctl()
blkdev_report_zones_ioctl()
blk_queue_is_zoned()
blk_queue_is_zoned
q->limits.zoned == 0
return false
if (!blk_queue_is_zoned(q)) <--- true
return -ENOTTY;
