Having separate implementations of blkdev_ioctl() often leads to these
getting out of sync, despite the comment at the top.
Since most of the ioctl commands are compatible, and we try very hard
not to add any new incompatible ones, move all the common bits into a
shared function and leave only the ones that are historically different
in separate functions for native/compat mode.
To deal with the compat_ptr() conversion, pass both the integer
argument and the pointer argument into the new blkdev_common_ioctl()
and make sure to always use the correct one of these.
blkdev_ioctl() is now only kept as a separate exported interfact
for drivers/char/raw.c, which lacks a compat_ioctl variant.
We should probably either move raw.c to staging if there are no
more users, or export blkdev_compat_ioctl() as well.

There is no need to go through a compat_alloc_user_space()
copy any more, just wrap the function in a small helper that
works the same way for native and compat mode.

Having both in the same file allows a number of simplifications
to the compat path, and makes it more likely that changes to
the native path get applied to the compat version as well.

A lot of block drivers need only a trivial .compat_ioctl callback.
Add a helper function that can be set as the callback pointer
to only convert the argument using the compat_ptr() conversion
and otherwise assume all input and output data is compatible,
or handled using in_compat_syscall() checks.
This mirrors the compat_ptr_ioctl() helper function used in
character devices.

Simplify the arguments to blkdev_nr_zones by passing a gendisk instead

In general drivers should never mess with partition tables directly.
Unfortunately s390 and loop do for somewhat historic reasons, but they
can use bdev_disk_changed directly instead when we export it as they
satisfy the sanity checks we have in __blkdev_reread_part.

We still have to set the capacity to 0 if invalidating or call
revalidate_disk if not even if the disk has no partitions. Fix
that by merging rescan_partitions into bdev_disk_changed and just
stubbing out blk_add_partitions and blk_drop_partitions for
non-partitioned devices.

A lot of the logic in invalidate_partitions and rescan_partitions is
shared. Merge the two functions to simplify things. There is a small
behavior change in that we now send the kevent change notice also if we
were not invalidating but no partitions were found, which seems like
the right thing to do.

Partitions that are not aligned to the blocksize of a device may cause
invalid I/O requests because the blocklayer cares only about alignment
within the partition when building requests on partitions.
device
|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|
partition offset 512byte
|-512-|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|--------4096--------|
When reading/writing one 4k block of the partition this maps to
reading/writing with an offset of 512 byte of the device leading to
unaligned requests for the device which in turn may cause unexpected
behavior of the device driver.
For DASD devices we have to translate the block number into a cylinder,
head, record format. The unaligned requests lead to wrong calculation
and therefore to misdirected I/O. In a "good" case this leads to I/O
errors because the underlying hardware detects the wrong addressing.
In a worst case scenario this might destroy data on the device.
To prevent partitions that are not aligned to the physical blocksize
of a device check for the alignment in the blkpg_ioctl.

Patch series "fallocate for block devices", v11.
This is a patchset to fix page cache coherency with BLKZEROOUT and
implement fallocate for block devices.
The first patch is a fix to the existing BLKZEROOUT ioctl to invalidate
the page cache if the zeroing command to the underlying device succeeds.
Without this patch we still have the pagecache coherence bug that's been
in the kernel forever.
The second patch changes the internal block device functions to reject
attempts to discard or zeroout that are not aligned to the logical block
size. Previously, we only checked that the start/len parameters were
512-byte aligned, which caused kernel BUG_ONs for unaligned IOs to 4k-LBA
devices.
The third patch creates an fallocate handler for block devices, wires up
the FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE flag to zeroing-discard, and connects
FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE to write-same so that we can have a consistent
fallocate interface between files and block devices. It also allows the
combination of PUNCH_HOLE and NO_HIDE_STALE to invoke non-zeroing discard.
Test cases for the new block device fallocate are now in xfstests as
generic/349-351.
This patch (of 3):
Invalidate the page cache (as a regular O_DIRECT write would do) to avoid
returning stale cache contents at a later time.

Pull misc DAX updates from Vishal Verma:
"DAX error handling for 4.7
- Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on any
device. This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these
errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver.
- The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that
are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1.
Other misc changes:
- When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition is
page aligned. This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we
allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent
reads/writes would fail.
- Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX
related to zeroing, writeback, and some size checks"

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

The only possible problem of using mutex_lock() instead of trylock
is about deadlock.
If there aren't any locks held before calling blkdev_reread_part(),
deadlock can't be caused by this conversion.
If there are locks held before calling blkdev_reread_part(),
and if these locks arn't required in open, close handler and I/O
path, deadlock shouldn't be caused too.
Both user space's ioctl(BLKRRPART) and md_setup_drive() from
init/do_mounts_md.c belongs to the 1st case, so the conversion is safe
for the two cases.
For loop, the previous patches in this pathset has fixed the ABBA lock
dependency, so the conversion is OK.
For nbd, tx_lock is held when calling the function:
- both open and release won't hold the lock
- when blkdev_reread_part() is run, I/O thread has been stopped
already, so tx_lock won't be acquired in I/O path at that time.
- so the conversion won't cause deadlock for nbd
For dasd, both dasd_open(), dasd_release() and request function don't
acquire any mutex/semphone, so the conversion should be safe.

blkdev_issue_discard() will zero a given block range. This is done by
way of explicit writing, thus provisioning or allocating the blocks on
disk.
There are use cases where the desired behavior is to zero the blocks but
unprovision them if possible. The blocks must deterministically contain
zeroes when they are subsequently read back.
This patch adds a flag to blkdev_issue_zeroout() that provides this
variant. If the discard flag is set and a block device guarantees
discard_zeroes_data we will use REQ_DISCARD to clear the block range. If
the device does not support discard_zeroes_data or if the discard
request fails we will fall back to first REQ_WRITE_SAME and then a
regular REQ_WRITE.
Also update the callers of blkdev_issue_zero() to reflect the new flag
and make sb_issue_zeroout() prefer the discard approach.

bdev_get_queue() returns the request_queue associated with the
specified block_device. blk_get_backing_dev_info() makes use of
bdev_get_queue() to determine the associated bdi given a block_device.
All the callers of bdev_get_queue() including
blk_get_backing_dev_info() assume that bdev_get_queue() may return
NULL and implement NULL handling; however, bdev_get_queue() requires
the passed in block_device is opened and attached to its gendisk.
Because an active gendisk always has a valid request_queue associated
with it, bdev_get_queue() can never return NULL and neither can
blk_get_backing_dev_info().
Make it clear that neither of the two functions can return NULL and
remove NULL handling from all the callers.

Pull block IO update from Jens Axboe:
"Core block IO bits for 3.7. Not a huge round this time, it contains:
- First series from Kent cleaning up and generalizing bio allocation
and freeing.
- WRITE_SAME support from Martin.
- Mikulas patches to prevent O_DIRECT crashes when someone changes
the block size of a device.
- Make bio_split() work on data-less bio's (like trim/discards).
- A few other minor fixups."
Fixed up silent semantic mis-merge as per Mikulas Patocka and Andrew
Morton. It is due to the VM no longer using a prio-tree (see commit
6b2dbba8b6ac: "mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree").
So make set_blocksize() use mapping_mapped() instead of open-coding the
internal VM knowledge that has changed.

Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that
allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently
in use.
This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because
One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of
nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This
can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence
counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock
as we call sector_in_part() very frequently.
Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence
counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write.
There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think
theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not
modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites
and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a
TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce
any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity().

We're doing some odd things there, which already messes up various users
(see the net/socket.c code that this removes), and it was going to add
yet more crud to the block layer because of the incorrect error code
translation.
ENOIOCTLCMD is not an error return that should be returned to user mode
from the "ioctl()" system call, but it should *not* be translated as
EINVAL ("Invalid argument"). It should be translated as ENOTTY
("Inappropriate ioctl for device").
That EINVAL confusion has apparently so permeated some code that the
block layer actually checks for it, which is sad. We continue to do so
for now, but add a big comment about how wrong that is, and we should
remove it entirely eventually. In the meantime, this tries to keep the
changes localized to just the EINVAL -> ENOTTY fix, and removing code
that makes it harder to do the right thing.

Move invalidate_bdev, block_sync_page into fs/block_dev.c. Export
kill_bdev as well, so brd doesn't have to open code it. Reduce
buffer_head.h requirement accordingly.
Removed a rather large comment from invalidate_bdev, as it looked a bit
obsolete to bother moving. The small comment replacing it says enough.

These files were getting <linux/module.h> via an implicit include
path, but we want to crush those out of existence since they cost
time during compiles of processing thousands of lines of headers

There are cases where suppressing partition scan is useful - e.g. for
lo devices and pseudo SATA devices which advertise to be a disk but
get upset on partition scan (some port multiplier control devices show
such behavior).
This patch adds GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN which suppresses partition scan
regardless of the number of possible partitions. disk_partitionable()
is renamed to disk_part_scan_enabled() as suppressing partition scan
doesn't imply the device can't be partitioned using
BLKPG_ADD/DEL_PARTITION calls from userland. show_partition() now
directly tests disk_max_parts() to maintain backward-compatibility.
-v2: Updated to make it clear that only partition scan is suppressed
not partitioning itself as suggested by Kay Sievers.
