In reality, it is the controller that does the auto transitioning.
In theory, one namespace could be attached to two different controllers,
and I guess, in that case, it depends on if the controller that we used
when doing the write supports auto transitioning or not, that determines
if a zone will be auto transitioned or not.
If we were to change this to be a parameter of the controller instead
of a parameter of the namespace, we would require to refactor a lot of
code in the regular write path. As we currently don't have any NvmeRequest
object in nvme_zrm_open_flags().
Thoughts?
Kind regards,
Niklas
