Add the 'zone_cap_mb' kernel module parameter. This parameter defines the
zone capacity. The zone capacity must be less than or equal to the zone
size.
Report that sequential write zones and gap zones are paired in the Zoned
Block Device Characteristics VPD page (page B6h).
This patch has been tested as follows:
modprobe scsi_debug delay=0 sector_size=512 dev_size_mb=128 zbc=host-managed zone_nr_conv=16 zone_size_mb=4 zone_cap_mb=3
modprobe brd rd_nr=1 rd_size=$((1<<20))
mkfs.f2fs -m /dev/ram0 -c /dev/${scsi_debug_dev}
mount /dev/ram0 /mnt
# Run a fio job that uses /mnt

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.
