If you want to zero use REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES..
Yes, I understand that part and it's what the earlier conversion of IBLOCK to use blkdev_issue_zeroout() already does. Once the blkdev_issue_zeroout() conversion is in place then LBPRZ can always be set to one for IBLOCK using blkdev_issue_zeroout(). The point is this is not in -rc1, which as-is breaks LBPRZ compat for a release.
