Hi Hannes, Damien, and Dmitry,
This patch series introduces zoned_host_device for passing through
host zoned storage devices.
How can one host zoned storage device be split up for multiple VMs?
For NVMe it may be possible to allocate multiple Namespaces on the
device using management tools. Then
Zoned Block Devices (ZBDs) devide the LBA space to block regions called zones
that are larger than the LBA size. It can only allow sequential writes, which
reduces write amplification in SSD, leading to higher throughput and increased
capacity. More details about ZBDs can be found at:
