You probably could rename ublk_drv.c to ublk.c to avoid that and keep the module
name as it was, ublk_drv.ko.

This can be "bool" only.

If UBLK_F_ZONED is set but chunk_sectors is not, that is a bug on the user
driver side, no ? So an error message about that would be nice instead of
silently ignoring the zoned flag.

You do not need to check if the max_active_zones and max_open_zones values are
sensible ? E.g. what if they are larger than the number of zones ?

I do not think this helper is needed at all (see below comment on the call site).

This is not needed. This should rather be "*buflen = 0;".

This is repeated a lot. So a small inline helper ublk_dev_is_zoned() would be nice.

You are leaking buffer.

You are repeating this a lot. Use a goto to cleanup on error.

So if the user is attempting to setup a zoned drive but the kernel does not have
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED=y, the user setup will be silently ignored. Not exactly
nice I think, unless I am missing something.

Also, repeating that "if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED))" for all zone
related functions is very verbose. Stub the functions in ublk_drv.h. That will
make the main C code lighter.

Similar comment as above. If the user tries to apply zoned parameters to a non
zoned drive, no error reported...

Not OK ! zone append is mandatory for zoned block devices. So zone append
support needs to come with this patch. reset all can be a different patch as
that is optional.

Same comment as above about error return instead of silently ignoring the zoned
flag for the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED=n case.

This should be all a helper ublk_set_zoned() or something.

Arg, no. The user should be notified with an error that he/she is attempting to
create a zoned device that cannot be supported.
