This patch is based on: git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hare/scsi-devel branch zbc.v6 According to the Zoned Block Commands (ZBC) Revision 5 SCSI specification, a Host Managed and Host Aware device is limited to support at a minimum the READ (16) and WRITE (16) read/write CDBs. This means that a drive manufacturer is not obligated to support anything else. We shouldn't assume that we can send other read/write commands and should instead limit sd to only the mandatory list highlighted in the specification. Note, I did not place the a check for zoned devices in the DIF-enabled conditional above, under the assumption that if the media supports Type-2 then it should also support the 32-byte commands. Thoughts?
