Subject: [PATCH 0/2] fix/extend zone-append in block-layer

First patch is about returning failure (rather than success) when
max_append_sectors is 0. This prevents bio_iov_iter_get_pages() from
getting into an endless loop.

Second patch enables issuing zone-append with iov_iter of bvec type.
It adds a helper which is similar to __bio_iov_bvec_add_pages() but
takes zone-append limits into account.

block: enable zone-append for iov_iter of bvec type

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] block: enable zone-append for iov_iter of bvec type

zone-append with bvec iov_iter gives WARN_ON, and returns -EINVAL.
Add new helper to process such iov_iter and add pages in bio honoring
zone-append specific constraints.

The only user of this function that issues zone append requests is zonefs. The
issued requests are not using bvec iter but a user direct IO buffer iter. So
this change would have no user at all as far as I can see. Am I missing
something ? What IO path makes this change necessary ?

As long as there is no possible user for this change, I do not see the point in
adding it.

As long as it's no problem for current in-tree users please keep it as is.
Please submit this patch together with your io_uring series as a preparatory patch.
