[ Upstream commit 7777f47f2ea64efd1016262e7b59fab34adfb869 ]

Commit 1a721de8489f ("block: don't add or resize partition on the disk
with GENHD_FL_NO_PART") prevented all operations about partitions on disks
with GENHD_FL_NO_PART in blkpg_do_ioctl() since they are meaningless.
However, it changed error code in some scenarios. So move checking
GENHD_FL_NO_PART to bdev_add_partition() to eliminate impact.

<title>block: add check that partition length needs to be aligned with block size</title>

commit 6f64f866aa1ae6975c95d805ed51d7e9433a0016 upstream.

Before calling add partition or resize partition, there is no check
on whether the length is aligned with the logical block size.
If the logical block size of the disk is larger than 512 bytes,
then the partition size maybe not the multiple of the logical block size,
and when the last sector is read, bio_truncate() will adjust the bio size,
resulting in an IO error if the size of the read command is smaller than
the logical block size.If integrity data is supported, this will also
result in a null pointer dereference when calling bio_integrity_free.

Commit a33df75c6328 ("block: use an xarray for disk-&gt;part_tbl") remove
disk_expand_part_tbl() in add_partition(), which means all kinds of
devices will support extended dynamic `dev_t`.
However, some devices with GENHD_FL_NO_PART are not expected to add or
resize partition.
Fix this by adding check of GENHD_FL_NO_PART before add or resize
partition.

As explained in commit 36369f46e917 ("block: Do not reread partition table
on exclusively open device"), reread partition on the device that is
exclusively opened by someone else is problematic.

This patch will make sure partition scan will only be proceed if current
thread open the device exclusively, or the device is not opened
exclusively, and in the later case, other scanners and exclusive openers
will be blocked temporarily until partition scan is done.

This patch can't fix the problem in a corner case that device can be

We'll use a new solution to fix the problem in the next patch, and
the new solution doesn't need to change apis.

commit 36369f46e91785688a5f39d7a5590e3f07981316 upstream.

Since commit 10c70d95c0f2 ("block: remove the bd_openers checks in
blk_drop_partitions") we allow rereading of partition table although
there are users of the block device. This has an undesirable consequence
that e.g. if sda and sdb are assembled to a RAID1 device md0 with
partitions, BLKRRPART ioctl on sda will rescan partition table and
create sda1 device. This partition device under a raid device confuses
some programs (such as libstorage-ng used for initial partitioning for
distribution installation) leading to failures.

Fix the problem refusing to rescan partitions if there is another user
that has the block device exclusively open.

Secure erase is a very different operation from discard in that it is
a data integrity operation vs hint.  Fully split the limits and helper

Just use a non-zero max_discard_sectors as an indicator for discard
support, similar to what is done for write zeroes.

The only places where needs special attention is the RAID5 driver,
which must clear discard support for security reasons by default,
even if the default stacking rules would allow for it.

Add a helper to check the nonrot flag based on the block_device instead
of having to poke into the block layer internal request_queue.
