Zone append BIOs (REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND) always specify the start sector of the zone to be written instead of the actual sector location to write. The write location is determined by the device and returned to the host upon completion of the operation. This interface, while simple and efficient for writing into sequential zones of a zoned block device, is incompatible with the use of sector values to calculate a cypher block IV. All data written in a zone end up using the same IV values corresponding to the first sectors of the zone, but read operation will specify any sector within the zone resulting in an IV mismatch between encryption and decryption. To solve this problem, report to DM core that zone append operations are not supported. This result in the zone append operations being emulated using regular write operations.

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.
