[PATCH 7.2 0/2] ublk: enable UBLK_F_SHMEM_ZC on zone appends

From: Caleb Sander Mateos

Date: Wed May 20 2026 - 18:56:51 EST


Commit 4d4a512a1f87 ("ublk: add PFN-based buffer matching in I/O path")
added support to ublk_setup_iod() for matching request buffers against
registered UBLK_F_SHMEM_ZC buffers, but missed adding it to
ublk_setup_iod_zoned() for zoned requests. ublk_setup_iod_zoned()
duplicates the code for initializing struct ublksrv_io_desc, making it
easy to forget to keep them in sync. Move the common code to a helper
function ublk_init_iod(). This allows zone appends to leverage the
shared memory zero copy optimization.

This series is based on "ublk: optimize ublk_rq_has_data()" [1]
