This patch introduces the ZONED incompat flag. The flag indicates that the volume management will satisfy the constraints imposed by host-managed zoned block devices (aligned chunk allocation, append-only updates, reset zone after filled). As the zoned support will happen incrementally due to enhancing some core infrastructure like super block writes, tree-log, raid support, the feature will appear in sysfs only on debug builds. It will be enabled once the support is feature complete and applications can reliably check whether zoned support is present or not.

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.
