Damien Le Moal bf14e2b250 dm: Forbid requeue of writes to zones
A target map method requesting the requeue of a bio with
DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE or completing it with DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE can cause
unaligned write errors if the bio is a write operation targeting a
sequential zone. If a zoned target request such a requeue, warn about
it and kill the IO.

The function dm_is_zone_write() is introduced to detect write operations
to zoned targets.

This change does not affect the target drivers supporting zoned devices
and exposing a zoned device, namely dm-crypt, dm-linear and dm-flakey as
none of these targets ever request a requeue.

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 Restructured Text 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.
