scsi: sd: Add zoned capabilities device attribute
Export through sysfs as a scsi_disk attribute the zoned capabilities of a disk ("zoned_cap" attribute file). This new attribute indicates in human readable form (i.e. a string) the zoned block capabilities implemented by the disk as found in the ZONED field of the disk block device characteristics VPD page. The possible values are: - "none": ZONED=00b (not reported), regular disk - "host-aware": ZONED=01b, host-aware ZBC disk - "drive-managed": ZONED=10b, drive-managed ZBC disk (regular disk interface) For completeness, also add the following value which is detected using the device type rather than the ZONED field: - "host-managed": device type = 0x14 (TYPE_ZBC), host-managed ZBC disk This new sysfs attribute is purely informational and complementary to the "zoned" device request queue sysfs attribute as it allows applications and user daemons (e.g. udev) to easily differentiate regular disks from drive-managed SMR disks without the need for direct access tools such as provided by sg3utils.
