[ Upstream commit 46fd48ab3ea3eb3bb215684bd66ea3d260b091a9 ]

The underlying limit is defined as an unsigned int, so return that from
bdev_io_min as well.

commit 140ce28dd3bee8e53acc27f123ae474d69ef66f0 upstream.

Add a helper to check if partition scanning is enabled instead of
open coding the check in a few places.  This now always checks for
the hidden flag even if all but one of the callers are never reachable
for hidden gendisks.

[ Upstream commit e719b4d156749f02eafed31a3c515f2aa9dcc72a ]

Create struct bdev_handle that contains all parameters that need to be
passed to blkdev_put() and provide bdev_open_* functions that return
this structure instead of plain bdev pointer. This will eventually allow
us to pass one more argument to blkdev_put() (renamed to bdev_release())
without too much hassle.

Pull superblock updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the super rework that was ready for this cycle. The
  first part changes the order of how we open block devices and allocate
  superblocks, contains various cleanups, simplifications, and a new
  mechanism to wait on superblock state changes.

  This unblocks work to ultimately limit the number of writers to a
  block device. Jan has already scheduled follow-up work that will be
  ready for v6.7 and allows us to restrict the number of writers to a
  given block device. That series builds on this work right here.

  The second part contains filesystem freezing updates.

  Overview:

  The generic superblock changes are rougly organized as follows
  (ignoring additional minor cleanups):

   (1) Removal of the bd_super member from struct block_device.

       This was a very odd back pointer to struct super_block with
       unclear rules. For all relevant places we have other means to get
       the same information so just get rid of this.

   (2) Simplify rules for superblock cleanup.

       Roughly, everything that is allocated during fs_context
       initialization and that's stored in fs_context-&gt;s_fs_info needs
       to be cleaned up by the fs_context-&gt;free() implementation before
       the superblock allocation function has been called successfully.

       After sget_fc() returned fs_context-&gt;s_fs_info has been
       transferred to sb-&gt;s_fs_info at which point sb-&gt;kill_sb() if
       fully responsible for cleanup. Adhering to these rules means that
       cleanup of sb-&gt;s_fs_info in fill_super() is to be avoided as it's
       brittle and inconsistent.

       Cleanup shouldn't be duplicated between sb-&gt;put_super() as
       sb-&gt;put_super() is only called if sb-&gt;s_root has been set aka
       when the filesystem has been successfully born (SB_BORN). That
       complexity should be avoided.

       This also means that block devices are to be closed in
       sb-&gt;kill_sb() instead of sb-&gt;put_super(). More details in the
       lower section.

   (3) Make it possible to lookup or create a superblock before opening
       block devices

       There's a subtle dependency on (2) as some filesystems did rely
       on fill_super() to be called in order to correctly clean up
       sb-&gt;s_fs_info. All these filesystems have been fixed.

   (4) Switch most filesystem to follow the same logic as the generic
       mount code now does as outlined in (3).

   (5) Use the superblock as the holder of the block device. We can now
       easily go back from block device to owning superblock.

   (6) Export and extend the generic fs_holder_ops and use them as
       holder ops everywhere and remove the filesystem specific holder
       ops.

   (7) Call from the block layer up into the filesystem layer when the
       block device is removed, allowing to shut down the filesystem
       without risk of deadlocks.

   (8) Get rid of get_super().

       We can now easily go back from the block device to owning
       superblock and can call up from the block layer into the
       filesystem layer when the device is removed. So no need to wade
       through all registered superblock to find the owning superblock
       anymore"

BLKFLSBUF is a historic ioctl that is called on a file handle to a
block device and syncs either the file system mounted on that block
device if there is one, or otherwise the just the data on the block
device.

Replace the get_super based syncing with a holder operation to remove
the last usage of get_super, and to also support syncing the file system
if the block device is not the main block device stored in s_dev.

Combine the newly merged bdev_mark_dead helper with the existing
mark_dead holder operation so that all operations that invalidate
a device that is dead or being removed now go through the holder
ops.  This allows file systems to explicitly shutdown either ASAP
(for a surprise removal) or after writing back data (for an orderly
removal), and do so not only for the main device.

We currently have two interfaces that take a block_devices and the find
a mounted file systems to flush or invaldidate data on it.  Both are a
bit problematic because they only work for the "main" block devices
that is used as s_dev for the super_block, and because they don't call
into the file system at all.

Merge the two into a new bdev_mark_dead helper that does both the
syncing and invalidation and which is properly documented.  This is
in preparation of merging the functionality into the -&gt;mark_dead
holder operation so that it will work on additional block devices
used by a file systems and give us a single entry point for invalidation
of dead devices or media.

Note that a single standalone fsync_bdev call for an obscure ioctl
remains for now, but that one will also be deal with in a bit.

Hard code the events to DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE as that is the only
useful use case, and drop the superfluous return value.
