Did you try to build this patch with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED disabled?

I got the following build errors when building it on top of vanilla v6.2
when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is disabled:

Kernel coding style says to not unnecessarily use braces where a single
statement will do:

Remove commented out code.
It can be added once that feature is added.

Here you use "#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED)"
yet further down you use
"#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED".

IS_ENABLED() is usually used when testing for a Kconfig within
a normal C conditional, e.g. if (IS_ENABLED()), where possible,
in order to avoid ugly C preprocessor conditionals completely.

However, if you have to use C preprocessor conditionals, then
#ifdef CONFIG_SOMETHING
is the most common way to conditionally include something.

No need for empty line here.

Since this is allocated on the stack, does it need memset()?

null_blk seems to memset blk_zone before the loop, but not inside the loop:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.2/drivers/block/null_blk/zoned.c#L206

So I'm a bit confused...

If e.g. cb() is blkdev_copy_zone_to_user()
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v6.2/block/blk-zoned.c#L318

It will copy whatever the kernel allocated.
So I guess that since you can't guarantee that the ublk user space driver
will fill in all fields in the zone when receiving a REQ_OP_DRV_IN,
I assume that you do need to do a memset() in order to not potentially
leak kernel space data.
