On a successful completion, the position the data is written to is returned via AIO's res2 field to the calling application.That is a major, and except for this changelog, undocumented ABI change. We had the whole discussion about reporting append results in a few threads and the issues with that in io_uring. So let's have that discussion there and don't mix it up with how zonefs writes data. Without that a lot of the boilerplate code should also go away.
OK maybe I didn't remember correctly, but wasn't this all around io_uring and how we'd report the location back for raw block device access? I'll re-read the threads.

Also how is this related to the rest of the patch?
This looks like a leftover from development that I forgot to clean up. Will be addressing it in the next round.

IIRC I had some issues with that and then decided to just roll my own as the s_dio_done_wq will be allocated for every IO if I read iomap correctly. Zonefs on the other hand needs the dio for all file accesses on sequential files, so creating a dedicated wq didn't seem problematic for me.
