blk_report_disk_dead() has the following major callers:

(1) del_gendisk()
(2) blk_mark_disk_dead()

Since del_gendisk() acquires disk-&gt;open_mutex it's clear that all
callers are assumed to be called without disk-&gt;open_mutex held.
In turn, blk_report_disk_dead() is called without disk-&gt;open_mutex held
in del_gendisk().

All callers of blk_mark_disk_dead() call it without disk-&gt;open_mutex as
well.

Ensure that it is clear that blk_report_disk_dead() is called without
disk-&gt;open_mutex on purpose by asserting it and a comment in the code.

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.

We currently have two interfaces that take a block_devices and the find
a mounted file systems to flush or invaldidate data on it.  Both are a
bit problematic because they only work for the "main" block devices
that is used as s_dev for the super_block, and because they don't call
into the file system at all.

Merge the two into a new bdev_mark_dead helper that does both the
syncing and invalidation and which is properly documented.  This is
in preparation of merging the functionality into the -&gt;mark_dead
holder operation so that it will work on additional block devices
used by a file systems and give us a single entry point for invalidation
of dead devices or media.

Note that a single standalone fsync_bdev call for an obscure ioctl
remains for now, but that one will also be deal with in a bit.

After commit 2736e8eeb0cc ("block: use the holder as indication for
exclusive opens"), blkdev_get_by_dev() will warn if holder is NULL and
mode contains 'FMODE_EXCL'.

holder from blkdev_get_by_dev() from disk_scan_partitions() is always NULL,
hence it should not use 'FMODE_EXCL', which is broben by the commit. For
consequence, WARN_ON_ONCE() will be triggered from blkdev_get_by_dev()
if user scan partitions with device opened exclusively.

Fix this problem by removing 'FMODE_EXCL' from disk_scan_partitions(),
as it used to be.

Commit 99d055b4fd4b ("block: remove per-disk debugfs files in
blk_unregister_queue") moves blk_trace_shutdown() from
blk_release_queue() to blk_unregister_queue(), this is safe if blktrace
is created through sysfs, however, there is a regression in corner
case.

blktrace can still be enabled after del_gendisk() through ioctl if
the disk is opened before del_gendisk(), and if blktrace is not shutdown
through ioctl before closing the disk, debugfs entries will be leaked.

Fix this problem by shutdown blktrace in disk_release(), this is safe
because blk_trace_remove() is reentrant.

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.

blk_lookup_devt is only used by code in early-lookup.c, so move it
there.

printk_all_partitions and it's helper bdevt_str are only used by the
early init code in init/do_mounts.c, so they should go there as well.

blk_lookup_devt is only used by code in early-lookup.c, so move it

printk_all_partitions and it's helper bdevt_str are only used by the
early init code in init/do_mounts.c, so they should go there as well.
