Pull vfs fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains a few small fixes for this merge window and the attempt
  to handle the ntfs removal regression that was reported a little while
  ago:

   - After the removal of the legacy ntfs driver we received reports
     about regressions for some people that do mount "ntfs" explicitly
     and expect the driver to be available. Since ntfs3 is a drop-in for
     legacy ntfs we alias legacy ntfs to ntfs3 just like ext3 is aliased
     to ext4.

     We also enforce legacy ntfs is always mounted read-only and give it
     custom file operations to ensure that ioctl()'s can't be abused to
     perform write operations.

   - Fix an unbalanced module_get() in bdev_open().

   - Two smaller fixes for the netfs work done earlier in this cycle.

   - Fix the errno returned from the new FS_IOC_GETUUID and
     FS_IOC_GETFSSYSFSPATH ioctls. Both commands just pull information
     out of the superblock so there's no need to call into the actual
     ioctl handlers.

     So instead of returning ENOIOCTLCMD to indicate to fallback we just
     return ENOTTY directly avoiding that indirection"

Commit 4601b4b130de ("block: reopen the device in blkdev_reread_part")
lost the propagation of I/O errors from the low-level read of the
partition table to the user space caller of the BLKRRPART.

Apparently some user space relies on, so restore the propagation.  This
isn't exactly pretty as other block device open calls explicitly do not
are about these errors, so add a new BLK_OPEN_STRICT_SCAN to opt into
the error propagation.

Currently a device is only really released once the umount returns to
userspace due to how file closing works. That ultimately could cause
an old umount assumption to be violated that concurrent umount and mount
don't fail. So an exclusively held device with a temporary holder should
be yielded before the filesystem is gone. Add a helper that allows
callers to do that. This also allows us to remove the two holder ops
that Linus wasn't excited about.

The original changes in v6.8 do allow for a block device to be reopened
with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES provided the same holder is used as per
bdev_may_open(). I think this has a bug.

The first opener @f1 of that block device will set bdev-&gt;bd_writers to
-1. The second opener @f2 using the same holder will pass the check in
bdev_may_open() that bdev-&gt;bd_writers must not be greater than zero.

The first opener @f1 now closes the block device and in bdev_release()
will end up calling bdev_yield_write_access() which calls
bdev_writes_blocked() and sets bdev-&gt;bd_writers to 0 again.

Now @f2 holds a file to that block device which was opened with
exclusive write access but bdev-&gt;bd_writers has been reset to 0.

So now @f3 comes along and succeeds in opening the block device with
BLK_OPEN_WRITE betraying @f2's request to have exclusive write access.

This isn't a practical issue yet because afaict there's no codepath
inside the kernel that reopenes the same block device with
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES but it will be if there is.

Fix this by counting the number of BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES openers. So
we only allow writes again once all BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES openers are
done.

<title>block: handle BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES correctly</title>

<id>ddd65e19c60140673ea9f7249af0a672f1820623</id>
<content type='text'>
Last kernel release we introduce CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED. By
default this option is set. When it is set the long-standing behavior
of being able to write to mounted block devices is enabled.

But in order to guard against unintended corruption by writing to the
block device buffer cache CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED can be turned
off. In that case it isn't possible to write to mounted block devices
anymore.

A filesystem may open its block devices with BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES
which disallows concurrent BLK_OPEN_WRITE access. When we still had the
bdev handle around we could recognize BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES because
the mode was passed around. Since we managed to get rid of the bdev
handle we changed that logic to recognize BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES based
on whether the file was opened writable and writes to that block device
are blocked. That logic doesn't work because we do allow
BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES to be specified without BLK_OPEN_WRITE.

Fix the detection logic and use an FMODE_* bit. We could've also abused
O_EXCL as an indicator that BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES has been requested.
For userspace open paths O_EXCL will never be retained but for internal
opens where we open files that are never installed into a file
descriptor table this is fine. But it would be a gamble that this
doesn't cause bugs. Note that BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES is an internal
only flag that cannot directly be raised by userspace. It is implicitly
raised during mounting.

Passes xftests and blktests with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED set and
unset.

Now that we open block devices as files we need to deal with the
realities that closing is a deferred operation. An operation on the
block device such as e.g., freeze, thaw, or removal that runs
concurrently with umount, tries to acquire a stable reference on the
holder. The holder might already be gone though. Make that reliable by
grabbing a passive reference to the holder during bdev_open() and
releasing it during bdev_release().

<title>block: remove bdev_handle completely</title>

We just need to use the holder to indicate whether a block device open
was exclusive or not. We did use to do that before but had to give that
up once we switched to struct bdev_handle. Before struct bdev_handle we
only stashed stuff in file-&gt;private_data if this was an exclusive open
but after struct bdev_handle we always set file-&gt;private_data to a
struct bdev_handle and so we had to use bdev_handle-&gt;mode or
bdev_handle-&gt;holder. Now that we don't use struct bdev_handle anymore we
can revert back to the old behavior.
