If the test target devices is a zoned block device with max_active_zones
limit, the fio command in block/004 opens zones beyond the limit and
fails with I/O errors.

To avoid the failure, pass the limit value to fio using --max_open_zones
option. This option, which was introduced to fio together with
zonemode=zbd, keeps the number of open zones within the specified value.

What happens if I use a fio version that does not have the --max_open_zones 
option defined?

The option --max_open_zones was introduced to fio together with zonemode=zbd,
since the beginning of fio's zoned block device support. If the test target
device is a zoned block device, the test case block/004 checks that fio
supports zonemode=zbd. I think this check is valid for --max_open_zones also.
