From 373282e7ab6840cd583a223fa90628f2d8293c26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Pittman Date: Fri, 4 Jan 2019 12:06:37 -0500 Subject: null_blk: add zoned config support information If the kernel is built without CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED, a modprobe of the null_blk driver with zoned=1 fails with 'Invalid argument'. This can be confusing to users, prompting a search as to why the parameter is invalid. To assist in that search, add a bit more information to the failure, additionally adding to the documentation that CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is needed for zoned=1. Reviewed-by: Bart Van Assche Signed-off-by: John Pittman Added null_blk prefix to error message.
