Introduce the definition of elevator features through the elevator_features flags in the elevator_type structure. Each flag can represent a feature supported by an elevator. The first feature defined by this patch is support for zoned block device sequential write constraint with the flag ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE, which is implemented by the mq-deadline elevator using zone write locking. Other possible features are IO priorities, write hints, latency targets or single-LUN dual-actuator disks (for which the elevator could maintain one LBA ordered list per actuator). The required_elevator_features field is also added to the request_queue structure to allow a device driver to specify elevator feature flags that an elevator must support for the correct operation of the device (e.g. device drivers for zoned block devices can have the ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE flag as a required feature). The helper function blk_queue_required_elevator_features() is defined for setting this new field. With these two new fields in place, the elevator functions elevator_match() and elevator_find() are modified to allow a user to set only an elevator with a set of features that satisfies the device required features. Elevators not matching the device requirements are not shown in the device sysfs queue/scheduler file to prevent their use. The "none" elevator can always be selected as before.

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.
