Since the above function has not changed compared to v7, I will repeat
my question about this function. Since 'pos' refers to the start of a
zone, is the "blk_queue_zone_no(q, pos) != blk_queue_zone_no(q, pos +
nr_sectors)" check identical to nr_sectors < q->limits.chunk_sectors?
Since q->limits.max_zone_append_sectors is guaranteed to be less than or
equal to the size of a zone, does that mean that the check
"blk_queue_zone_no(q, pos) != blk_queue_zone_no(q, pos + nr_sectors)" is
superfluous?

Thanks,

Bart.
