Moves the location of the superblock logging zones. The new locations of the logging zones are now determined based on fixed block addresses instead of on fixed zone numbers. The old placement method based on fixed zone numbers causes problems when one needs to inspect a file system image without access to the drive zone information. In such case, the super block locations cannot be reliably determined as the zone size is unknown. By locating the superblock logging zones using fixed addresses, we can scan a dumped file system image without the zone information since a super block copy will always be present at or after the fixed known locations. Introduce the following three pairs of zones containing fixed offset locations, regardless of the device zone size. - primary superblock: offset 0B (and the following zone) - first copy: offset 512G (and the following zone) - Second copy: offset 4T (4096G, and the following zone) If a logging zone is outside of the disk capacity, we do not record the superblock copy. The first copy position is much larger than for a non-zoned filesystem, which is at 64M. This is to avoid overlapping with the log zones for the primary superblock. This higher location is arbitrary but allows supporting devices with very large zone sizes, plus some space around in between. Such large zone size is unrealistic and very unlikely to ever be seen in real devices. Currently, SMR disks have a zone size of 256MB, and we are expecting ZNS drives to be in the 1-4GB range, so this limit gives us room to breathe. For now, we only allow zone sizes up to 8GB. The maximum zone size that would still fit in the space is 256G. The fixed location addresses are somewhat arbitrary, with the intent of maintaining superblock reliability for smaller and larger devices, with the preference for the latter. For this reason, there are two superblocks under the first 1T. This should cover use cases for physical devices and for emulated/device-mapper devices. The superblock logging zones are reserved for superblock logging and never used for data or metadata blocks. Note that we only reserve the two zones per primary/copy actually used for superblock logging. We do not reserve the ranges of zones possibly containing superblocks with the largest supported zone size (0-16GB, 512G-528GB, 4096G-4112G). The zones containing the fixed location offsets used to store superblocks on a non-zoned volume are also reserved to avoid confusion.

README
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.
