Add support for zoned block devices
This patch adds support for zoned block devices as follows:
- After the file size has been determined, check whether the file name
refers to a block device. If so, check whether that block device is a
host-managed block device. If that is the case, read the zone
information using the BLKREPORTZONE ioctl. That ioctl is supported by
the Linux kernel since kernel version v4.10.
- After all command-line options have been processed and all job files
have been read, verify whether these refer to a zoned block device
and also whether the specified options are compatible with a zoned
block device. Complain if that is not the case.
- After each get_next_block() call, verify whether the block is
appropriate for a zoned block device. When writing data to a
sequential zone, adjust the write offset to the zone write pointer.
When reading from a sequential zone, avoid reading past the write
pointer.
- After I/O submission, update the variable that represents the write
pointer.
- When writing data and with data verification enabled, reset a zone
before writing any data into a zone. Otherwise reset a zone before
issuing a write if that zone is full.
- Translate trim into zone resets. Zoned block devices namely do not
have to support any of the SCSI commands that are used by the kernel
to implement the discard ioctl (UNMAP / WRITE SAME).
