block: remove obsolete config BLOCK_COMPAT

2023-03-16T15:35:44+00:00

Before commit bdc1ddad3e5f ("compat_ioctl: block: move
blkdev_compat_ioctl() into ioctl.c"), the config BLOCK_COMPAT was used to
include compat_ioctl.c into the kernel build. With this commit, the code
is moved into ioctl.c and included with the config COMPAT. So, since then,
the config BLOCK_COMPAT has no effect and any further purpose.

Remove this obsolete config BLOCK_COMPAT.

block: Remove "select SRCU"

2023-01-05T15:50:10+00:00

Now that the SRCU Kconfig option is unconditionally selected, there is
no longer any point in selecting it.  Therefore, remove the "select SRCU"
Kconfig statements.

block: remove "select BLK_RQ_IO_DATA_LEN" from BLK_CGROUP_IOCOST dependency

2022-06-29T14:35:57+00:00

The configuration item BLK_RQ_IO_DATA_LEN is not declared in the kernel.
Select BLK_RQ_IO_DATA_LEN is meaningless which could be removed.

block: add pi for extended integrity

2022-03-07T19:48:35+00:00

The NVMe specification defines new data integrity formats beyond the
t10 tuple. Add support for the specification defined CRC64 formats,
assuming the reference tag does not need to be split with the "storage
tag".

block: default BLOCK_LEGACY_AUTOLOAD to y

2022-02-27T21:49:23+00:00

As Luis reported, losetup currently doesn't properly create the loop
device without this if the device node already exists because old
scripts created it manually.  So default to y for now and remove the
aggressive removal schedule.

blk-mq: make the blk-mq stacking code optional

2022-02-17T02:39:09+00:00

The code to stack blk-mq drivers is only used by dm-multipath, and
will preferably stay that way.  Make it optional and only selected
by device mapper, so that the buildbots more easily catch abuses
like the one that slipped in in the ufs driver in the last merged
window.  Another positive side effects is that kernel builds without
device mapper shrink a little bit as well.

block: deprecate autoloading based on dev_t

2022-02-02T14:49:58+00:00

Make the legacy dev_t based autoloading optional and add a deprecation
warning.  This kind of autoloading has ceased to be useful about 20 years
ago.

block: simplify Kconfig files

2021-10-18T12:17:35+00:00

Everything under block/ depends on BLOCK. BLOCK_HOLDER_DEPRECATED is
selected from drivers/md/Kconfig, which is entirely dependent on BLOCK.

Extend the 'if BLOCK' ... 'endif' so it covers the whole block/Kconfig.

Also, clean up the definition of BLOCK_COMPAT and BLK_MQ_PCI because
COMPAT and PCI are boolean.
