Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings. This patch
instead introduces a new blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning. Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.
For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.
blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it
all into the operations. The little caveat here is that previously
cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op
fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough
operations.
Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver
private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we
can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

Commit 073db4a51e ("mtd: fix: avoid race condition when accessing
mtd->usecount") fixed a race condition but due to poor ordering of the
mutex acquisition, introduced a potential deadlock.
The deadlock can occur, for example, when rmmod'ing the m25p80 module, which
will delete one or more MTDs, along with any corresponding mtdblock
devices. This could potentially race with an acquisition of the block
device as follows.
-> blktrans_open()
-> mutex_lock(&dev->lock);
-> mutex_lock(&mtd_table_mutex);
-> del_mtd_device()
-> mutex_lock(&mtd_table_mutex);
-> blktrans_notify_remove() -> del_mtd_blktrans_dev()
-> mutex_lock(&dev->lock);
This is a classic (potential) ABBA deadlock, which can be fixed by
making the A->B ordering consistent everywhere. There was no real
purpose to the ordering in the original patch, AFAIR, so this shouldn't
be a problem. This ordering was actually already present in
del_mtd_blktrans_dev(), for one, where the function tried to ensure that
its caller already held mtd_table_mutex before it acquired &dev->lock:
if (mutex_trylock(&mtd_table_mutex)) {
mutex_unlock(&mtd_table_mutex);
BUG();
}
So, reverse the ordering of acquisition of &dev->lock and &mtd_table_mutex so
we always acquire mtd_table_mutex first.

Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
"This first core part of the block IO changes contains:
- Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph. We used to
rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
store the error in the bio itself.
- Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.
- Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
from Jeff Moyer. This caused performance regressions in various
tests. Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
instead.
- Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
when deleting files. Enable the admin to configure the size down.
We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
sectors.
- Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.
- Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
path). From Kent.
- Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
faster. From Ming Lei.
- Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
condition.
- Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward
for a while, and testing them. Ming also did a few fixes around
that.
- Sasha Levin found and fixed a use-after-free problem introduced by
the bio->bi_error changes from Christoph.

would leave a blank (zero) result.
But now, let's get the error code right. Other code paths on this ioctl

Modify function blktrans_getgeo()'s return value to -EOPNOTSUPP when

We shouldn't make the return value to 0 when dev->tr->getgeo == NULL,
because the function blktrans_getgeo() has an output value "hd_geometry"
which is usually used by some application, if returns 0 (i.e.,
"success"), it will make some application get the wrong information.

Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.
Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions. But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
- On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
- Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.
There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices. From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"
sources.

mtd_blkdevs is device with volatile cache (writeback buffer), so it should support
REQ_FLUSH to do explicit flush.
Without this patch 'sync' does not guarantee that writeback buffer will be flushed
on disk in case of power off, e.g.:
$ cp some_file /mnt
$ sync
### POWER OFF
In case of this sequence writeback buffer will not be flushed on disk.
This patch fixes this behaviour and explicitly reports to block layer that flush
requests are being supported.

This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
pointing at anything valid.
Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().
For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
in the bio.

Some error paths in mtd_blkdevs were fixed in the following commit:
commit 94735ec404
mtd: mtd_blkdevs: fix error path in blktrans_open
But on these error paths, the block device's `dev->open' count is
already incremented before we check for errors. This meant that, while
the error path was handled correctly on the first time through
blktrans_open(), the device is erroneously considered already open on
the second time through.
This problem can be seen, for instance, when a UBI volume is
simultaneously mounted as a UBIFS partition and read through its
corresponding gluebi mtdblockX device. This results in blktrans_open()
passing its error checks (with `dev->open > 0') without actually having
a handle on the device. Here's a summarized log of the actions and
results with nandsim:
# modprobe nandsim
# modprobe mtdblock
# modprobe gluebi
# modprobe ubifs
# ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 0

# ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N test -s 16MiB

The 'blktrans_open()' does not handle possible '__get_mtd_device()' failures
because it does not check the error code. Moreover, the 'dev->tr->open()'
failures are not handled correctly because in this case the function just
goes ahead and gets the mtd device, then returns an error. But Instead, it
should _not_ try to get the mtd device, then it should put back the module
and the kref.
This patch fixes the issue. Note, I only compile-tested it. This patch was
inspired by a bug report about a similar issue in 2.6.34 kernels

NOTE!
This merge commit was created to fix compilation error. The block
tree was merged upstream and removed the 'elv_queue_empty()'
function which the new 'mtdswap' driver is using. So a simple
merge of the mtd tree with upstream does not compile. And the
mtd tree has already be published, so re-basing it is not an option.
To fix this unfortunate situation, I had to merge upstream into the
mtd-2.6.git tree without committing, put the fixup patch on top of
this, and then commit this. The result is that we do not have commits
which do not compile.
In other words, this merge commit "merges" 3 things: the MTD tree, the
upstream tree, and the fixup patch.

Add a new background method into mtd_blktrans_ops, add background support
into mtd_blktrans_thread(), and add mtd_blktrans_cease_background().
If the mtd blktrans dev has the background support, the thread will
call background function when the request queue becomes empty. The background
operation may run as long as needs to until
mtd_blktrans_cease_background() tells to stop.

This one liner patch fixes double free that will occur if add_mtd_blktrans_dev
fails. On failure it frees the input argument, but all its users also free it
on error which is natural thing to do. Thus don't free it.

In commit 2a48fc0ab2 ('block: autoconvert
trivial BKL users to private mutex'), Arnd replaced the BKL usage with a
mutex. However, Maxim has already provided a better fix in commit
480792b7bf ('mtd: blktrans: kill BKL'),
which was simply to remove the BKL without replacing it — since he'd
already made it do all necessary locking for itself.

Now it once again possible to remove mtdtrans module.
You still need to ensure that block devices of that module aren't mounted.
This is due to the fact that as long as a block device is open, it still exists,
therefore if we were to allow module removal, this block device might became used again.
This time in addition to code review, I also made the code
pass some torture tests like module reload in a loop + read in a loop +
card insert/removal all at same time.
The blktrans_open/blktrans_release don't take the mtd table lock because:
While device is added (that includes execution of add_mtd_blktrans_dev)
the lock is already taken
Now suppose the device will never be removed. In this case even if we have changes
in mtd table, the entry that we need will stay exactly the same. (Note that we don't
look at table at all, just following private pointer of block device).
Now suppose that someone tries to remove the mtd device.
This will be propagated to trans driver which _ought_ to call del_mtd_blktrans_dev
which will take the per device lock, release the mtd device and set trans->mtd = NULL.
>From this point on, following opens won't even be able to know anything about that mtd device
(which at that point is likely not to exist)
Also the same care is taken not to trip over NULL mtd pointer in blktrans_dev_release.

The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel
calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers
were already using the BKL before.
This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
Still need to check whether this is safe to do.

Fixed up pretty trivial conflicts in drivers/block/virtio_blk.c and
drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c as per Jens.
The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.
This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.
The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.
