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.

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.
