block: don't allow enabling a cache on devices that don't support it

2023-09-13T07:53:18Z

[ Upstream commit 43c9835b144c7ce29efe142d662529662a9eb376 ] Currently the write_cache attribute allows enabling the QUEUE_FLAG_WC flag on devices that never claimed the capability. Fix that by adding a QUEUE_FLAG_HW_WC flag that is set by blk_queue_write_cache and guards re-enabling the cache through sysfs. Note that any rescan that calls blk_queue_write_cache will still re-enable the write cache as in the current code.

block: get rid of unused plug->nowait flag

2023-08-08T21:50:37Z

This was introduced to add a plug based way of signaling nowait issues, but we have since moved on from that. Kill the old dead code, nobody is setting it anymore. Reviewed-by: Chaitanya Kulkarni Reviewed-by: Bart Van Assche Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: replace fmode_t with a block-specific type for block open flags

2023-06-12T14:04:05Z

The only overlap between the block open flags mapped into the fmode_t and other uses of fmode_t are FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE. Define a new blk_mode_t instead for use in blkdev_get_by_{dev,path}, ->open and ->ioctl and stop abusing fmode_t.

block: use the holder as indication for exclusive opens

2023-06-12T14:04:04Z

The current interface for exclusive opens is rather confusing as it requires both the FMODE_EXCL flag and a holder. Remove the need to pass FMODE_EXCL and just key off the exclusive open off a non-NULL holder. For blkdev_put this requires adding the holder argument, which provides better debug checking that only the holder actually releases the hold, but at the same time allows removing the now superfluous mode argument.
