Pass the initial queue limits to blk_mq_alloc_disk and use the
blkif_set_queue_limits API to update the limits on reconnect.

blkif_set_queue_limits already sets the max_sements limits, so don't do
it a second time.  Also remove a comment about a long fixe bug in
blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues.

<title>xen-blkfront: rely on the default discard granularity</title>

The block layer now sets the discard granularity to the physical
block size default.  Take advantage of that in xen-blkfront and only
set the discard granularity if explicitly specified.

Currently xen-blkfront set the max discard limit to the capacity of
the device, which is suboptimal when the capacity changes.  Just set
it to UINT_MAX, which has the same effect and is simpler.

Pass a queue_limits to blk_mq_alloc_disk and apply it if non-NULL.  This
will allow allocating queues with valid queue limits instead of setting
the values one at a time later.

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

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

<id>b6ebaa8100090092aa602530d7e8316816d0c98d</id>
<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.
