...
commit d1a5f2b4d8 ("block: use DAX for partition table reads") was
part of a stalled effort to allow dax mappings of block devices. Since
then the device-dax mechanism has filled the role of dax-mapping static
device ranges.
Now that we are moving ->direct_access() from a block_device operation
to a dax_inode operation we would need block devices to map and carry
their own dax_inode reference.
Unless / until we decide to revive dax mapping of raw block devices
through the dax_inode scheme, there is no need to carry
read_dax_sector(). Its removal in turn allows for the removal of
bdev_direct_access() and should have been included in commit
2237570168 ("block_dev: remove DAX leftovers").

Commit 25520d55cd ("block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk")
introduced blk_integrity_revalidate(), which seems to assume ownership
of the stable pages flag and unilaterally clears it if no blk_integrity
profile is registered:
if (bi->profile)
disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities |=
BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
else
disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities &=
~BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
It's called from revalidate_disk() and rescan_partitions(), making it
impossible to enable stable pages for drivers that support partitions
and don't use blk_integrity: while the call in revalidate_disk() can be
trivially worked around (see zram, which doesn't support partitions and
hence gets away with zram_revalidate_disk()), rescan_partitions() can
be triggered from userspace at any time. This breaks rbd, where the
ceph messenger is responsible for generating/verifying CRCs.
Since blk_integrity_{un,}register() "must" be used for (un)registering
the integrity profile with the block layer, move BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES
setting there. This way drivers that call blk_integrity_register() and
use integrity infrastructure won't interfere with drivers that don't
but still want stable pages.

Both blkdev_report_zones and blkdev_reset_zones can operate on a partition of
a zoned block device. However, the first and last zones reported for a
partition make sense only if the partition start sector and size are aligned
on the device zone size. The same applies for zone reset. Resetting the first
or the last zone of a partition straddling zones may impact neighboring
partitions. Finally, if a partition start sector is not at the beginning of a
sequential zone, it will be impossible to write to the first sectors of the
partition on a host-managed device.
Avoid all these problems and incoherencies by ignoring partitions that are not
zone aligned.
Note: Even with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED disabled, bdev_is_zoned() will report the
correct disk zoning type (host-aware, host-managed or none) but
bdev_zone_size() will always return 0 for zoned block devices (i.e. the zone
size is unknown). So test this as a way to ensure that a zoned block device is
being handled as such. As a result, for a host-aware devices, unaligned zone
partitions will be accepted with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED disabled. That is, the
disk will be treated as a regular block device (as it should). If zoned block
device support is enabled, only aligned partitions will be accepted.

- Two fixes for NVMe:
One fixes a reset race that can be triggered by repeated
insert/removal of the module.
The other fixes an issue on some platforms, where we get probe
timeouts since legacy interrupts isn't working. This used not to
be a problem since we had the worker thread poll for completions,
but since that was killed off, it means those poor souls can't
successfully probe their NVMe device. Use a proper IRQ check and
probe (msi-x -> msi ->legacy), like most other drivers to work
around this. Both from Keith.
- A loop corruption issue with offset in iters, from Ming Lei.
- A fix for not having the partition stat per cpu ref count
initialized before sending out the KOBJ_ADD, which could cause user
space to access the counter prior to initialization. Also from
Ming Lei.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

This patch has been carried in the Android tree for quite some time and
is one of the few patches required to get a mainline kernel up and
running with an exsiting Android userspace. So I wanted to submit it
for review and consideration if it should be merged.
For partitions, add new uevent parameters 'PARTN' which specifies the
partitions index in the table, and 'PARTNAME', which specifies PARTNAME
specifices the partition name of a partition device.
Android's userspace uses this for creating device node links from the
partition name and number, ie:
/dev/block/platform/soc/by-name/system
or
/dev/block/platform/soc/by-num/p1
One can see its usage here:

Today, blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sda will fail with EBUSY if any
partition of sda is mounted (and will fail with EINVAL if pointed
at a partition). But it will pass if the entire block device is
formatted with a filesystem and mounted. I don't think this makes
sense; partitioning should surely not ever change out from under
a mounted device.
So check for bdev->bd_super, and fail that with -EBUSY as well.

Up until now the_integrity profile has been dynamically allocated and
attached to struct gendisk after the disk has been made active.
This causes problems because NVMe devices need to register the profile
prior to the partition table being read due to a mandatory metadata
buffer requirement. In addition, DM goes through hoops to deal with
preallocating, but not initializing integrity profiles.
Since the integrity profile is small (4 bytes + a pointer), Christoph
suggested moving it to struct gendisk proper. This requires several
changes:
- Moving the blk_integrity definition to genhd.h.
- Inlining blk_integrity in struct gendisk.
- Removing the dynamic allocation code.
- Adding helper functions which allow gendisk to set up and tear down
the integrity sysfs dir when a disk is added/deleted.
- Adding a blk_integrity_revalidate() callback for updating the stable
pages bdi setting.
- The calls that depend on whether a device has an integrity profile or
not now key off of the bi->profile pointer.
- Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

This reverts commit 8761a3dc1f.
There are situations where the destruction path is called
with the bdev->bd_mutex already held, which then deadlocks in
loop_clr_fd(). The normal partition cleanup does a trylock()
on the mutex, but it'd be nice to have a more bullet proof
method in loop. So punt this more involved fix to the next

Any partitions added by user space to the loop device were being
left in place after detaching the loop device. This was because
the detach path issued a BLKRRPART to clean up partitions if

unconditionally cleans up partitions on detach instead.

Currently, sizeof(struct parsed_partitions) may be 64KB in 32bit arch, so
it is easy to trigger page allocation failure by check_partition,
especially in hotplug block device situation(such as, USB mass storage,
MMC card, ...), and Felipe Balbi has observed the failure.
This patch does below optimizations on the allocation of struct
parsed_partitions to try to address the issue:
- make parsed_partitions.parts as pointer so that the pointed memory can
fit in 32KB buffer, then approximate 32KB memory can be saved
- vmalloc the buffer pointed by parsed_partitions.parts because 32KB is
still a bit big for kmalloc
- given that many devices have the partition count limit, so only
allocate disk_max_parts() partitions instead of 256 partitions always

Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that
allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently
in use.
This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because
One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of
nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This
can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence
counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock
as we call sector_in_part() very frequently.
Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence
counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write.
There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think
theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not
modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites
and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a
TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce
any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity().
