blk-crypto: don't use struct request_queue for public interfaces

2023-05-11T14:03:00Z

commit fce3caea0f241f5d34855c82c399d5e0e2d91f07 upstream. Switch all public blk-crypto interfaces to use struct block_device arguments to specify the device they operate on instead of th request_queue, which is a block layer implementation detail.

Add as module parameters these options: memory_backed discard mbps cache_size Previously these could only be set via configfs. Still missing is bad_blocks.

block: remove biodoc.rst

2022-02-15T14:47:52Z

This document is completely out of date and extremely misleading. In general the existing kerneldoc comment serve as a much better documentation of the still existing functionality, while the history blurbs are pretty much irrelevant today.

docs: block: biodoc.rst: Drop the obsolete and incorrect content

2022-02-11T22:07:43Z

Since commit 7eaceaccab5f ("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.

block: remove genhd.h

2022-02-02T14:49:59Z

There is no good reason to keep genhd.h separate from the main blkdev.h header that includes it. So fold the contents of genhd.h into blkdev.h and remove genhd.h entirely.
