Hi, NVMeOF Host is capable of handling the NVMe Protocol based Zoned Block Devices (ZBD) in the Zoned Namespaces (ZNS) mode with the passthru backend. There is no support for a generic block device backend to handle the ZBD devices which are not NVMe protocol compliant yet provide NVMe ZNS interface. This adds support to export the ZBDs (which are not NVMe drives) to host the from target via NVMeOF using the host side ZNS interface. The patch series is generated in bottom-top manner where, it first adds prep patch and ZNS command-specific handlers on the top of genblk and updates the data structures, then one by one it wires up the admin cmds in the order host calls them in namespace initializing sequence. Once everything is ready, it wires-up the I/O command handlers. See below for patch-series overview. All the testcases are passing for the ZoneFS with ZBD exported with NVMeOF backed by null_blk ZBD and null_blk ZBD without NVMeOF. Please consider this for nvme-5.11. Regards, Chaitanya Changes from V3:- 1. Get rid of the bio_max_zasl check. 2. Remove extra lines. 4. Remove the block layer api export patch. 5. Remove the bvec check in the bio_iov_iter_get_pages() for REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND so that we can reuse the code. Changes from V2:- 1. Move conventional zone bitmap check into nvmet_bdev_validate_zns_zones(). 2. Don't use report zones call to check the runt zone. 3. Trim nvmet_zasl() helper. 4. Fix typo in the nvmet_zns_update_zasl(). 5. Remove the comment and fix the mdts calculation in nvmet_execute_identify_cns_cs_ctrl(). 6. Use u64 for bufsize in nvmet_bdev_execute_zone_mgmt_recv(). 7. Remove nvmet_zones_to_desc_size() and fix the nr_zones calculation. 8. Remove the op variable in nvmet_bdev_execute_zone_append(). 9. Fix the nr_zones calculation nvmet_bdev_execute_zone_mgmt_recv(). 10. Update cover letter subject. Changes from V1:- 1. Remove the nvmet-$(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED) += zns.o. 2. Mark helpers inline. 3. Fix typos in the comments and update the comments. 4. Get rid of the curly brackets. 5. Don't allow drives with last smaller zones. 6. Calculate the zasl as a function of ax_zone_append_sectors, bio_max_pages so we don't have to split the bio. 7. Add global subsys->zasl and update the zasl when new namespace is enabled. 8. Rmove the loop in the nvmet_bdev_execute_zone_mgmt_recv() and move functionality in to the report zone callback. 9. Add goto for default case in nvmet_bdev_execute_zone_mgmt_send(). 10. Allocate the zones buffer with zones size instead of bdev nr_zones.
