Damien Le Moal 0916878da3 f2fs: Fix use of number of devices
For a single device mount using a zoned block device, the zone
information for the device is stored in the sbi->devs single entry
array and sbi->s_ndevs is set to 1. This differs from a single device
mount using a regular block device which does not allocate sbi->devs
and sets sbi->s_ndevs to 0.

However, sbi->s_devs == 0 condition is used throughout the code to
differentiate a single device mount from a multi-device mount where
sbi->s_ndevs is always larger than 1. This results in problems with
single zoned block device volumes as these are treated as multi-device
mounts but do not have the start_blk and end_blk information set. One
of the problem observed is skipping of zone discard issuing resulting in
write commands being issued to full zones or unaligned to a zone write
pointer.

Fix this problem by simply treating the cases sbi->s_ndevs == 0 (single
regular block device mount) and sbi->s_ndevs == 1 (single zoned block
device mount) in the same manner. This is done by introducing the
helper function f2fs_is_multi_device() and using this helper in place
of direct tests of sbi->s_ndevs value, improving code readability.

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.
