Masato Suzuki 515ce60613 scsi: sd_zbc: Fix sd_zbc_report_zones() buffer allocation
The function sd_zbc_do_report_zones() issues a REPORT ZONES command with a
buffer size calculated based on the number of zones requested by the
caller. This value should however not exceed the capabilities of the
hardware maximum command size, that is, should not exceed the
max_hw_sectors limit of the device. This problem leads to failures of
report zones commands when re-validating disks with some SAS HBAs.

Fix this by limiting a report zone command buffer size to the minimum of
the device max_hw_sectors and calculated value based on the requested
number of zones. This does not change the semantic of the report_zones file
operation as report zones can always return less zone reports than
requested. Short reports are handled using a loop execution of the
report_zones file operation in the function blk_report_zones().

[Damien]
Before patch 'e76239a3748c ("block: add a report_zones method")', report
zones buffer allocation was limited to max_sectors when allocated in
blk_report_zones(). This however does not consider the actual format of the
device reply which is interface dependent.  Limiting the allocation based
on the size of the expected reply format rather than the size of the array
of generic sturct blkzone passed by blk_report_zones() makes more sense.

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.
