Make sure that the zone resource limits of a zoned block device are
correct by checking that:
(a) If the device has a max active zones limit, make sure that the max
open zones limit is lower than the max active zones limit.
(b) If the device has zone resource limits, check that the limits
values are lower than the number of sequential zones of the device.
If it is not, assume that the zoned device has no limits by setting
the limits to 0.
For (a), a check is added to blk_validate_zoned_limits() and an error
returned if the max open zones limit exceeds the value of the max active
zone limit (if there is one).
For (b), given that we need the number of sequential zones of the zoned
device, this check is added to disk_update_zone_resources(). This is
safe to do as that function is executed with the disk queue frozen and
the check executed after queue_limits_start_update() which takes the
queue limits lock. Of note is that the early return in this function
for zoned devices that do not use zone write plugging (e.g. DM devices
using native zone append) is moved to after the new check and adjustment
of the zone resource limits so that the check applies to any zoned
device.

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.
