fallocate() is implemented by reserving actual extent instead of reservations. This can result in exposing the sequential write constraint of host-managed zoned block devices to the application, which would break the POSIX semantic for the fallocated file. To avoid this, report fallocate() as not supported when in ZONED mode for now. In the future, we may be able to implement "in-memory" fallocate() in ZONED mode by utilizing space_info->bytes_may_use or similar, so this returns EOPNOTSUPP.

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.
