Since commit 7eaceaccab ("block: remove per-queue plugging"), kernel
has removed blk_run_address_space(), blk_unplug() and sync_buffer(),
and moved to on-stack plugging. The document has been obsolete for
years.
Given that there is no obvious counterparts in the new mechinism to
replace old APIs, this patch drops the content directly.

Currently the fscrypt inline encryption support is documented in the
"Implementation details" section, and it doesn't go into much detail.
It's really more than just an "implementation detail" though, as there
is a user-facing mount option. Also, hardware-wrapped key support (an
upcoming feature) will depend on inline encryption and will affect the
on-disk format; by definition that's not just an implementation detail.
Therefore, move this documentation into its own section and expand it.

A few of the Documentation .rst files begin with a Unicode
byte order mark (BOM). The BOM may signify endianess for
16-bit or 32-bit encodings or indicate that the text stream
is indeed Unicode. We don't need it for either of those uses.
It may also interfere with (confuse) some software.
Since we don't need it and its use is optional, just delete
the uses of it in Documentation/.

Per ZBC and ZAC specifications, host-managed SMR hard-disks mandate that
all writes into sequential write required zones be aligned to the device
physical block size. However, NVMe ZNS does not have this constraint and
allows write operations into sequential zones to be aligned to the
device logical block size. This inconsistency does not help with
software portability across device types.
To solve this, introduce the zone_write_granularity queue limit to
indicate the alignment constraint, in bytes, of write operations into
zones of a zoned block device. This new limit is exported as a
read-only sysfs queue attribute and the helper
blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() introduced for drivers to set this
limit.
The function blk_queue_set_zoned() is modified to set this new limit to
the device logical block size by default. NVMe ZNS devices as well as
zoned nullb devices use this default value as is. The scsi disk driver
is modified to execute the blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() helper to
set the zone write granularity of host-managed SMR disks to the disk
physical block size.
The accessor functions queue_zone_write_granularity() and
bdev_zone_write_granularity() are also introduced.

Add a resource-managed variant of blk_ksm_init() so that drivers don't
have to worry about calling blk_ksm_destroy().
Note that the implementation uses a custom devres action to call
blk_ksm_destroy() rather than switching the two allocations to be
directly devres-managed, e.g. with devm_kmalloc(). This is because we
need to keep zeroing the memory containing the keyslots when it is
freed, and also because we want to continue using kvmalloc() (and there
is no devm_kvmalloc()).

The :c:type:`foo` only works properly with structs before
Sphinx 3.x.
On Sphinx 3.x, structs should now be declared using the
.. c:struct, and referenced via :c:struct tag.
As we now have the automarkup.py macro, that automatically
convert:
struct foo
into cross-references, let's get rid of that, solving
several warnings when building docs with Sphinx 3.x.

A zoned device with limited resources to open or activate zones may
return an error when the host exceeds those limits. The same command may
be successful if retried later, but the host needs to wait for specific
zone states before it should expect a retry to succeed. Have the block
layer provide an appropriate status for these conditions so applications
can distinuguish this error for special handling.

Merge tag 'for-5.8-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux
Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"Highlights:
- speedup dead root detection during orphan cleanup, eg. when there
are many deleted subvolumes waiting to be cleaned, the trees are
now looked up in radix tree instead of a O(N^2) search
- snapshot creation with inherited qgroup will mark the qgroup
inconsistent, requires a rescan
- send will emit file capabilities after chown, this produces a
stream that does not need postprocessing to set the capabilities
again
- direct io ported to iomap infrastructure, cleaned up and simplified
code, notably removing last use of struct buffer_head in btrfs code
Core changes:
- factor out backreference iteration, to be used by ordinary
backreferences and relocation code
- improved global block reserve utilization
* better logic to serialize requests
* increased maximum available for unlink
* improved handling on large pages (64K)
- direct io cleanups and fixes
* simplify layering, where cloned bios were unnecessarily created
for some cases
* error handling fixes (submit, endio)
* remove repair worker thread, used to avoid deadlocks during
repair
- refactored block group reading code, preparatory work for new type
of block group storage that should improve mount time on large
filesystems
Cleanups:
- cleaned up (and slightly sped up) set/get helpers for metadata data
structure members
- root bit REF_COWS got renamed to SHAREABLE to reflect the that the
blocks of the tree get shared either among subvolumes or with the
relocation trees
Fixes:
- when subvolume deletion fails due to ENOSPC, the filesystem is not
turned read-only
- device scan deals with devices from other filesystems that changed
ownership due to overwrite (mkfs)
- fix a race between scrub and block group removal/allocation
- fix long standing bug of a runaway balance operation, printing the
same line to the syslog, caused by a stale status bit on a reloc
tree that prevented progress
- fix corrupt log due to concurrent fsync of inodes with shared
extents
- fix space underflow for NODATACOW and buffered writes when it for
some reason needs to fallback to COW mode"

The kernel documentation includes a brief section about genhd
capabilities, but it turns out that the only documented
capability (GENHD_FL_MEDIA_CHANGE_NOTIFY) isn't used any more.
This patch removes that flag, and documents the rest, based on my
understanding of the current uses of these flags in the kernel. The
documentation is kept in the header file, alongside the declarations,
in the hope that it will be kept up-to-date in future; the kernel
documentation is changed to include the documentation generated from
the header file.
Because the ultimate goal is to provide some end-user
documentation (or end-administrator documentation), the comments are
perhaps more user-oriented than might be expected. Since the values
are shown to users in hexadecimal, the documentation lists them in
hexadecimal, and the constant declarations are adjusted to match.

Requests that triggers flushing volatile writeback cache to disk (barriers)
have significant effect to overall performance.
Block layer has sophisticated engine for combining several flush requests
into one. But there is no statistics for actual flushes executed by disk.
Requests which trigger flushes usually are barriers - zero-size writes.
This patch adds two iostat counters into /sys/class/block/$dev/stat and
/proc/diskstats - count of completed flush requests and their total time.
