The bio-&gt;bi_iter.bi_size is updated when bio_add_page() is called. So we
do not need to assign msg-&gt;bi_size again to it, since its redudant and
can also be harmful. Instead we can use it to add a sanity check, which
checks the locally calculated bi_size, with the one sent in msg.

<title>block/rnbd: Constify struct kobj_type</title>

<content type='text'>
'struct kobj_type' is not modified in this driver. It is only used with
kobject_init_and_add() which takes a "const struct kobj_type *" parameter.

Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   4082	    792	      8	   4882	   1312	drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv-sysfs.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   4210	    672	      8	   4890	   131a	drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv-sysfs.o

QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE has been set by rnbd-cnt since the initial
merge.  There is no good reason for a driver to force exact core
delivery, which is tunable for very specific workloads and not a

<title>block: move the nonrot flag to queue_limits</title>

<content type='text'>
Move the nonrot flag into the queue_limits feature field so that it can
be set atomically with the queue frozen.

Use the chance to switch to defaulting to non-rotational and require
the driver to opt into rotational, which matches the polarity of the
sysfs interface.

For the z2ram, ps3vram, 2x memstick, ubiblock and dcssblk the new
rotational flag is not set as they clearly are not rotational despite
this being a behavior change.  There are some other drivers that
unconditionally set the rotational flag to keep the existing behavior
as they arguably can be used on rotational devices even if that is
probably not their main use today (e.g. virtio_blk and drbd).

The flag is automatically inherited in blk_stack_limits matching the
existing behavior in dm and md.

<title>block: move cache control settings out of queue-&gt;flags</title>

<content type='text'>
Move the cache control settings into the queue_limits so that the flags
can be set atomically with the device queue frozen.

Add new features and flags field for the driver set flags, and internal
(usually sysfs-controlled) flags in the block layer.  Note that we'll
eventually remove enough field from queue_limits to bring it back to the
previous size.

The disable flag is inverted compared to the previous meaning, which
means it now survives a rescan, similar to the max_sectors and
max_discard_sectors user limits.

The FLUSH and FUA flags are now inherited by blk_stack_limits, which
simplified the code in dm a lot, but also causes a slight behavior
change in that dm-switch and dm-unstripe now advertise a write cache
despite setting num_flush_bios to 0.  The I/O path will handle this
gracefully, but as far as I can tell the lack of num_flush_bios
and thus flush support is a pre-existing data integrity bug in those
targets that really needs fixing, after which a non-zero num_flush_bios
should be required in dm for targets that map to underlying devices.

<title>tracing/treewide: Remove second parameter of __assign_str()</title>

<id>2c92ca849fcc6ee7d0c358e9959abc9f58661aea</id>
<content type='text'>
With the rework of how the __string() handles dynamic strings where it
saves off the source string in field in the helper structure[1], the
assignment of that value to the trace event field is stored in the helper
value and does not need to be passed in again.

This means that with:

  __string(field, mystring)

Which use to be assigned with __assign_str(field, mystring), no longer
needs the second parameter and it is unused. With this, __assign_str()
will now only get a single parameter.

There's over 700 users of __assign_str() and because coccinelle does not
handle the TRACE_EVENT() macro I ended up using the following sed script:

  git grep -l __assign_str | while read a ; do
      sed -e 's/\(__assign_str([^,]*[^ ,]\) *,[^;]*/\1)/' $a &gt; /tmp/test-file;
      mv /tmp/test-file $a;
  done

I then searched for __assign_str() that did not end with ';' as those
were multi line assignments that the sed script above would fail to catch.

Note, the same updates will need to be done for:

  __assign_str_len()
  __assign_rel_str()
  __assign_rel_str_len()

I tested this with both an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig (build only for both).

<title>rnbd-clt: pass queue_limits to blk_mq_alloc_disk</title>

Pass the limits rnbd-clt imposes directly to blk_mq_alloc_disk instead
of setting them one at a time.

While at it don't set an explicit number of discard segments, as 1 is
the default (which most drivers rely on).
