For targets requiring zone append operation emulation with regular writes (e.g. dm-crypt), we can use the block layer emulation provided by zone write plugging. Remove DM implemented zone append emulation and enable the block layer one. This is done by setting the max_zone_append_sectors limit of the mapped device queue to 0 for mapped devices that have a target table that cannot support native zone append operations (e.g. dm-crypt). Such mapped devices are flagged with the DMF_EMULATE_ZONE_APPEND flag. dm_split_and_process_bio() is modified to execute blk_zone_write_plug_bio() for such device to let the block layer transform zone append operations into regular writes. This is done after ensuring that the submitted BIO is split if it straddles zone boundaries. Both changes are implemented unsing the inline helpers dm_zone_write_plug_bio() and dm_zone_bio_needs_split() respectively. dm_revalidate_zones() is also modified to use the block layer provided function blk_revalidate_disk_zones() so that all zone resources needed for zone append emulation are initialized by the block layer without DM core needing to do anything. Since the device table is not yet live when dm_revalidate_zones() is executed, enabling the use of blk_revalidate_disk_zones() requires adding a pointer to the device table in struct mapped_device. This avoids errors in dm_blk_report_zones() trying to get the table with dm_get_live_table(). The mapped device table pointer is set to the table passed as argument to dm_revalidate_zones() before calling blk_revalidate_disk_zones() and reset to NULL after this function returns to restore the live table handling for user call of report zones. All the code related to zone append emulation is removed from dm-zone.c. This leads to simplifications of the functions __map_bio() and dm_zone_endio(). This later function now only needs to deal with completions of real zone append operations for targets that support it.

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.
