Thanks a lot for the clarification. I will remove this statement in the
next revision.

I was partially misled by [1] where it is stated "Segments are collected
into sections. There is genuine flexibility in the size of a section,
though it must be a power of two.".

Just FYI, when I did a quick check, there are some assumptions in the
zoned support for f2fs which assumes the zoned device size is a power of
2 such as in the __f2fs_issue_discard_zone. So if I am not wrong, when
we remove those assumptions in f2fs for zone size, then everything
should work fine provided the zone size is a multiple of 2MB. Am I
missing something here?

I am new to f2fs but is there testsuite that I can run for f2fs apart
from the two tests listed in (x)fstests?
