A value is assigned to the variable 'info' but that value is never
used. Hence remove the variable 'info'.

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "A few fixes for the current series. This contains:

   - 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 -&gt; msi -&gt;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.

   - A fix for using the wrong congestion state, from Kaixu Xia"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  block: loop: fix filesystem corruption in case of aio/dio
  NVMe: Always use MSI/MSI-x interrupts
  NVMe: Fix reset/remove race
  writeback: fix the wrong congested state variable definition
  block: partition: initialize percpuref before sending out KOBJ_ADD

<title>mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros</title>

<content type='text'>
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:

 - &lt;foo&gt; &lt;&lt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - &lt;foo&gt; &gt;&gt; (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -&gt; &lt;foo&gt;;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -&gt; PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -&gt; get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -&gt; 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.

The initialization of partition's percpu_ref should have been done before
sending out KOBJ_ADD uevent, which may cause userspace to read partition
table. So the uninitialized percpu_ref may be accessed in data path.

This patch fixes this issue reported by Naveen.

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:
    https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/init/devices.cpp#355
and
    https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/init/devices.cpp#494

Avoid populating pagecache when the block device is in DAX mode.
Otherwise these page cache entries collide with the fsync/msync
implementation and break data durability guarantees.

<title>Return EBUSY from BLKRRPART for mounted whole-dev fs</title>

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-&gt;bd_super, and fail that with -EBUSY as well.

<title>block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk</title>

<content type='text'>
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-&gt;profile pointer.

 - Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

Percpu refcount is the perfect match for partition's case,
and the conversion is quite straight.

With the convertion, one pair of atomic inc/dec can be saved
for accounting block I/O, which is run in hot path of block I/O.

So the helper can be used in both generic partition
case and part0 case.
