If zoned writes (REQ_OP_WRITE) for a sequential write required zone have
a starting LBA that differs from the write pointer, e.g. because zoned
writes have been reordered, then the storage device will respond with an
UNALIGNED WRITE COMMAND error. Retry commands that failed with an
unaligned write error. The block layer core will sort the SCSI commands
per LBA before these are resubmitted.
If the write order is preserved, increase the number of retries for
write commands sent to a sequential zone to the maximum number of
outstanding commands because in the worst case the number of times
reordered zoned writes have to be retried is (number of outstanding
writes per sequential zone) - 1.
