When the kernel is built without support for zoned block devices,
virtio-blk probe needs to error out any host-managed device scans
to prevent such devices from appearing in the system as non-zoned.
The current virtio-blk code simply bypasses all ZBD checks if
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is not defined and this leads to host-managed
block devices being presented as non-zoned in the OS. This is one of
the main problems this patch series is aimed to fix.
In this patch, make VIRTIO_BLK_F_ZONED feature defined even when
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is not. This change makes the code compliant with
the voted revision of virtio-blk ZBD spec. Modify the probe code to
look at the situation when VIRTIO_BLK_F_ZONED is negotiated in a kernel
that is built without ZBD support. In this case, the code checks
the zoned model of the device and fails the probe is the device
is host-managed.
The patch also adds the comment to clarify that the call to perform
the zoned device probe is correctly placed after virtio_device ready().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
