This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled block: Clear zone limits for a non-zoned stacked queue to the 6.8-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: block-clear-zone-limits-for-a-non-zoned-stacked-queu.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.8 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit a39c13747453a2e58d6e769421712ce1c1ba4b62 Author: Damien Le Moal <dlemoal@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Feb 22 22:17:23 2024 +0900 block: Clear zone limits for a non-zoned stacked queue [ Upstream commit c8f6f88d25929ad2f290b428efcae3b526f3eab0 ] Device mapper may create a non-zoned mapped device out of a zoned device (e.g., the dm-zoned target). In such case, some queue limit such as the max_zone_append_sectors and zone_write_granularity endup being non zero values for a block device that is not zoned. Avoid this by clearing these limits in blk_stack_limits() when the stacked zoned limit is false.
