The only overlap between the block open flags mapped into the fmode_t and
other uses of fmode_t are FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE.  Define a new
blk_mode_t instead for use in blkdev_get_by_{dev,path}, -&gt;open and
-&gt;ioctl and stop abusing fmode_t.

<title>xen/blkfront: Only check REQ_FUA for writes</title>

<content type='text'>
The existing code silently converts read operations with the
REQ_FUA bit set into write-barrier operations. This results in data
loss as the backend scribbles zeroes over the data instead of returning
it.

While the REQ_FUA bit doesn't make sense on a read operation, at least
one well-known out-of-tree kernel module does set it and since it
results in data loss, let's be safe here and only look at REQ_FUA for
writes.

Since commit fc7a6209d571 ("bus: Make remove callback return void")
forces bus_type::remove be void-returned, it doesn't make much sense for
any bus based driver implementing remove callbalk to return non-void to
its caller.

This change is for xen bus based drivers.

nvme and xen-blkfront are already doing this to stop buffered writes from
creating dirty pages that can't be written out later.  Move it to the
common code.

This also removes the comment about the ordering from nvme, as bd_mutex
not only is gone entirely, but also hasn't been used for locking updates
to the disk size long before that, and thus the ordering requirement
documented there doesn't apply any more.

Xen blkfront advertises its support of the persistent grants feature
when it first setting up and when resuming in 'talk_to_blkback()'.
Then, blkback reads the advertised value when it connects with blkfront
and decides if it will use the persistent grants feature or not, and
advertises its decision to blkfront.  Blkfront reads the blkback's
decision and it also makes the decision for the use of the feature.

Commit 402c43ea6b34 ("xen-blkfront: Apply 'feature_persistent' parameter
when connect"), however, made the blkfront's read of the parameter for
disabling the advertisement, namely 'feature_persistent', to be done
when it negotiate, not when advertise.  Therefore blkfront advertises
without reading the parameter.  As the field for caching the parameter
value is zero-initialized, it always advertises as the feature is
disabled, so that the persistent grants feature becomes always disabled.

This commit fixes the issue by making the blkfront does parmeter caching
just before the advertisement.

The advertisement of the persistent grants feature (writing
'feature-persistent' to xenbus) should mean not the decision for using
the feature but only the availability of the feature.  However, commit
74a852479c68 ("xen-blkfront: add a parameter for disabling of persistent
grants") made a field of blkfront, which was a place for saving only the
negotiation result, to be used for yet another purpose: caching of the
'feature_persistent' parameter value.  As a result, the advertisement,
which should follow only the parameter value, becomes inconsistent.

This commit fixes the misuse of the semantic by making blkfront saves
the parameter value in a separate place and advertises the support based
on only the saved value.

Pull more xen updates from Juergen Gross:

 - fix the handling of the "persistent grants" feature negotiation
   between Xen blkfront and Xen blkback drivers

 - a cleanup of xen.config and adding xen.config to Xen section in
   MAINTAINERS

 - support HVMOP_set_evtchn_upcall_vector, which is more compliant to
   "normal" interrupt handling than the global callback used up to now

 - further small cleanups

* tag 'for-linus-6.0-rc1b-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip:
  MAINTAINERS: add xen config fragments to XEN HYPERVISOR sections
  xen: remove XEN_SCRUB_PAGES in xen.config
  xen/pciback: Fix comment typo
  xen/xenbus: fix return type in xenbus_file_read()
  xen-blkfront: Apply 'feature_persistent' parameter when connect
  xen-blkback: Apply 'feature_persistent' parameter when connect
  xen-blkback: fix persistent grants negotiation
  x86/xen: Add support for HVMOP_set_evtchn_upcall_vector
