Commit ecfe43b11b02 ("block: Remember zone capacity when revalidating
zones") introduced checks to ensure that the capacity of the zones of
a zoned device is constant for all zones. However, this check ignores
the possibility that a zoned device has a smaller last zone with a size
not equal to the capacity of other zones. Such device correspond in
practice to an SMR drive with a smaller last zone and all zones with a
capacity equal to the zone size, leading to the last zone capacity being
different than the capacity of other zones.
Correctly handle such device by fixing the check for the constant zone
capacity in blk_revalidate_seq_zone() using the new helper function
disk_zone_is_last(). This helper function is also used in
blk_revalidate_zone_cb() when checking the zone size.

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 reStructuredText 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.
