block: use an xarray for disk->part_tbl

2021-01-25T01:17:20+00:00

Now that no fast path lookups in the partition table are left, there is
no point in micro-optimizing the data structure for it.  Just use a bog
standard xarray.

block: remove DISK_PITER_REVERSE

2021-01-25T01:17:20+00:00

There is good reason to iterate backwards when deleting all partitions in
del_gendisk, just like we don't in blk_drop_partitions.

block: add a disk_uevent helper

2021-01-25T01:17:20+00:00

Add a helper to call kobject_uevent for the disk and all partitions, and
unexport the disk_part_iter_* helpers that are now only used in the core
block code.

block: add a hard-readonly flag to struct gendisk

2021-01-25T01:15:57+00:00

Commit 20bd1d026aac ("scsi: sd: Keep disk read-only when re-reading
partition") addressed a long-standing problem with user read-only
policy being overridden as a result of a device-initiated revalidate.
The commit has since been reverted due to a regression that left some
USB devices read-only indefinitely.

To fix the underlying problems with revalidate we need to keep track
of hardware state and user policy separately.

The gendisk has been updated to reflect the current hardware state set
by the device driver. This is done to allow returning the device to
the hardware state once the user clears the BLKROSET flag.

The resulting semantics are as follows:

 - If BLKROSET sets a given partition read-only, that partition will
   remain read-only even if the underlying storage stack initiates a
   revalidate. However, the BLKRRPART ioctl will cause the partition
   table to be dropped and any user policy on partitions will be lost.

 - If BLKROSET has not been set, both the whole disk device and any
   partitions will reflect the current write-protect state of the
   underlying device.

Based on a patch from Martin K. Petersen .

block: merge struct block_device and struct hd_struct

2020-12-01T21:53:40+00:00

Instead of having two structures that represent each block device with
different life time rules, merge them into a single one.  This also
greatly simplifies the reference counting rules, as we can use the inode
reference count as the main reference count for the new struct
block_device, with the device model reference front ending it for device
model interaction.

block: switch disk_part_iter_* to use a struct block_device

2020-12-01T21:53:40+00:00

Switch the partition iter infrastructure to iterate over block_device
references instead of hd_struct ones mostly used to get at the
block_device.

Use struct block_device to lookup partitions on a disk.  This removes

block: allocate struct hd_struct as part of struct bdev_inode

2020-12-01T21:53:40+00:00

Allocate hd_struct together with struct block_device to pre-load
the lifetime rule changes in preparation of merging the two structures.

Note that part0 was previously embedded into struct gendisk, but is
a separate allocation now, and already points to the block_device instead
of the hd_struct.  The lifetime of struct gendisk is still controlled by
the struct device embedded in the part0 hd_struct.

Move the policy field to struct block_device and rename it to the
more descriptive bd_read_only.  Also turn the field into a bool as it
is used as such.
