<content type='text'>
Propagate the per-queue stable_write flags into each bdev inode in bdev_add.
This makes sure devices that require stable writes have it set for I/O
on the block device node as well.

Note that this doesn't cover the case of a flag changing on a live device
yet.  We should handle that as well, but I plan to cover it as part of a
more general rework of how changing runtime paramters on block devices
works.

Fixes: 1cb039f3dc16 ("bdi: replace BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES with a queue and a sb flag")

Pull non-MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "As usual, lots of singleton and doubleton patches all over the tree
  and there's little I can say which isn't in the individual changelogs.

  The lengthier patch series are

   - 'kdump: use generic functions to simplify crashkernel reservation
     in arch', from Baoquan He. This is mainly cleanups and
     consolidation of the 'crashkernel=' kernel parameter handling

   - After much discussion, David Laight's 'minmax: Relax type checks in
     min() and max()' is here. Hopefully reduces some typecasting and
     the use of min_t() and max_t()

   - A group of patches from Oleg Nesterov which clean up and slightly
     fix our handling of reads from /proc/PID/task/... and which remove
     task_struct.thread_group"

<title>block: move bdev_mark_dead out of disk_check_media_change</title>

<content type='text'>
disk_check_media_change is mostly called from -&gt;open where it makes
little sense to mark the file system on the device as dead, as we
are just opening it.  So instead of calling bdev_mark_dead from
disk_check_media_change move it into the few callers that are not
in an open instance.  This avoid calling into bdev_mark_dead and
thus taking s_umount with open_mutex held.

<title>fs: Avoid grabbing sb-&gt;s_umount under bdev-&gt;bd_holder_lock</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fd1464105cb37a3b50a72c1d2902e97a71950af8</id>
<content type='text'>
The implementation of bdev holder operations such as fs_bdev_mark_dead()
and fs_bdev_sync() grab sb-&gt;s_umount semaphore under
bdev-&gt;bd_holder_lock. This is problematic because it leads to
disk-&gt;open_mutex -&gt; sb-&gt;s_umount lock ordering which is counterintuitive
(usually we grab higher level (e.g. filesystem) locks first and lower
level (e.g. block layer) locks later) and indeed makes lockdep complain
about possible locking cycles whenever we open a block device while
holding sb-&gt;s_umount semaphore. Implement a function
bdev_super_lock_shared() which safely transitions from holding
bdev-&gt;bd_holder_lock to holding sb-&gt;s_umount on alive superblock without
introducing the problematic lock dependency. We use this function
fs_bdev_sync() and fs_bdev_mark_dead().

<content type='text'>
Convert blkdev_open() to use bdev_open_by_dev(). To be able to propagate
handle from blkdev_open() to blkdev_release() we need to stop using
existence of file-&gt;private_data to determine exclusive block device
opens. Use bdev_handle-&gt;mode for this purpose since file-&gt;f_flags
isn't usable for this (O_EXCL is cleared from the flags during open).

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.

__read_mostly predates __ro_after_init. Many variables which are marked
__read_mostly should have been __ro_after_init from day 1.

Also, mark some stuff as "const" and "__init" while I'm at it.

New code for 6.6:

 * Allow the kernel to initiate a freeze of a filesystem.  The kernel
   and userspace can both hold a freeze on a filesystem at the same
   time; the freeze is not lifted until /both/ holders lift it.  This
   will enable us to fix a longstanding bug in XFS online fsck.

<title>block: call into the file system for ioctl BLKFLSBUF</title>

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.
