Commit a33df75c6328 ("block: use an xarray for disk-&gt;part_tbl") drops the
check on max supported number of partitionsr, and allows partition with
bigger partition numbers to be added. However, -&gt;bd_partno is defined as
u8, so partition index of xarray table may not match with -&gt;bd_partno.
Then delete_partition() may delete one unmatched partition, and caused
use-after-free.

With the removal of the skd driver, using IRQ safe locking of a bdev
bd_size_lock spinlock to protect the bdev inode size is not necessary
anymore as there is no other known driver using this lock under an IRQ
disabled context (e.g. calling set_capacity() with IRQ disabled).
Revert commit 0fe37724f8e7 ("block: fix bd_size_lock use") which
introduced the IRQ safe change.

Some block device drivers, e.g. the skd driver, call set_capacity() with
IRQ disabled. This results in lockdep ito complain about inconsistent
lock states ("inconsistent {HARDIRQ-ON-W} -&gt; {IN-HARDIRQ-W} usage")
because set_capacity takes a block device bd_size_lock using the
functions spin_lock() and spin_unlock(). Ensure a consistent locking
state by replacing these calls with spin_lock_irqsave() and
spin_lock_irqrestore(). The same applies to bdev_set_nr_sectors().
With this fix, all lockdep complaints are resolved.

Commit 20bd1d026aac ("scsi: sd: Keep disk read-only when re-reading
partition") addressed a long-standing problem with user read-only
policy being overridden as a result of a device-initiated revalidate.
The commit has since been reverted due to a regression that left some
USB devices read-only indefinitely.

To fix the underlying problems with revalidate we need to keep track
of hardware state and user policy separately.

The gendisk has been updated to reflect the current hardware state set
by the device driver. This is done to allow returning the device to
the hardware state once the user clears the BLKROSET flag.

The resulting semantics are as follows:

 - If BLKROSET sets a given partition read-only, that partition will
   remain read-only even if the underlying storage stack initiates a
   revalidate. However, the BLKRRPART ioctl will cause the partition
   table to be dropped and any user policy on partitions will be lost.

 - If BLKROSET has not been set, both the whole disk device and any
   partitions will reflect the current write-protect state of the
   underlying device.

Based on a patch from Martin K. Petersen &lt;martin.petersen@oracle.com&gt;.

Instead of having two structures that represent each block device with
different life time rules, merge them into a single one.  This also
greatly simplifies the reference counting rules, as we can use the inode
reference count as the main reference count for the new struct
block_device, with the device model reference front ending it for device
model interaction.
