Please check below discussion:

https://sourceforge.net/p/linux-f2fs/mailman/message/36282479/

Anyway, we will not set sector_size to 512 by default for backward
compatibility, since some users may calculated total_sector_number by
theirselves via BLKSSZGET.

Usage: mkfs.f2fs [options] device [sectors]:
sectors: number of sectors. [default: determined by device size]

So how about changing as below?

zone_align_start_offset =
(c.start_sector * DEFAULT_SECTOR_SIZE +
2 * F2FS_BLKSIZE + zone_size_bytes - 1) /
zone_size_bytes * zone_size_bytes -
c.start_sector * DEFAULT_SECTOR_SIZE;

Thanks,
