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: print symbolic error name instead of error code</title>

Utilize the %pe print specifier to get the symbolic error name as a
string (i.e "-ENOMEM") in the log message instead of the error code to
increase its readablility.

<title>block: remove support for the host aware zone model</title>

<content type='text'>
When zones were first added the SCSI and ATA specs, two different
models were supported (in addition to the drive managed one that
is invisible to the host):

 - host managed where non-conventional zones there is strict requirement
   to write at the write pointer, or else an error is returned
 - host aware where a write point is maintained if writes always happen
   at it, otherwise it is left in an under-defined state and the
   sequential write preferred zones behave like conventional zones
   (probably very badly performing ones, though)

Not surprisingly this lukewarm model didn't prove to be very useful and
was finally removed from the ZBC and SBC specs (NVMe never implemented
it).  Due to to the easily disappearing write pointer host software
could never rely on the write pointer to actually be useful for say
recovery.

Fortunately only a few HDD prototypes shipped using this model which
never made it to mass production.  Drop the support before it is too
late.  Note that any such host aware prototype HDD can still be used
with Linux as we'll now treat it as a conventional HDD.

<title>block: WARN_ON_ONCE() when we remove active partitions</title>

The logic for disk-&gt;open_partitions is:

blkdev_get_by_*()
-&gt; bdev_is_partition()
   -&gt; blkdev_get_part()
      -&gt; blkdev_get_whole() // bdev_whole-&gt;bd_openers++
      -&gt; if (part-&gt;bd_openers == 0)
                 disk-&gt;open_partitions++
         part-&gt;bd_openers

In other words, when we first claim/open a partition we increment
disk-&gt;open_partitions and only when all part-&gt;bd_openers are closed will
disk-&gt;open_partitions be zero. That should mean that
disk-&gt;open_partitions is always &gt; 0 as long as there's anyone that
has an open partition.

So the check for disk-&gt;open_partitions should mean that we can never
remove an active partition that has a holder and holder ops set. Assert
that in the code. The main disk isn't removed so that check doesn't work
for disk-&gt;part0 which is what we want. After all we only care about
partition not about the main disk.

BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION refuses to delete partitions that still have
openers, i.e., that has an elevated @bdev-&gt;bd_openers count. If a device
is claimed by setting @bdev-&gt;bd_holder and @bdev-&gt;bd_holder_ops
@bdev-&gt;bd_openers and @bdev-&gt;bd_holders are incremented.
@bdev-&gt;bd_openers is effectively guaranteed to be &gt;= @bdev-&gt;bd_holders.
So as long as @bdev-&gt;bd_openers isn't zero we know that this partition
is still in active use and that there might still be @bdev-&gt;bd_holder
and @bdev-&gt;bd_holder_ops set.

The only current example is @fs_holder_ops for filesystems. But that
means bdev_mark_dead() which calls into
bdev-&gt;bd_holder_ops-&gt;mark_dead::fs_bdev_mark_dead() is a nop. As long as
there's an elevated @bdev-&gt;bd_openers count we can't delete the
partition and if there isn't an elevated @bdev-&gt;bd_openers count then
there's no @bdev-&gt;bd_holder or @bdev-&gt;bd_holder_ops.

So simply open-code what we need to do. This gets rid of one more
instance where we acquire s_umount under @disk-&gt;open_mutex.

replace all occurrences accordingly.

Note that the length is defined and used, and not the size since the

strncpy() is deprecated and needs to be replaced. The volume label
information strings are not nul-terminated and strncpy() can simply be
replaced with memcpy().

To enhance the readability of find_label() alongside this change, the
following improvements are made:
- Introduce the array dasd_vollabels[] containing all information
  necessary for the label detection.
- Provide a helper function to obtain an index value corresponding to a
  volume label type. This allows the use of a switch statement to reduce
  indentation levels.
- The 'temp' variable is used to check against valid volume label types.
  In the good case, this variable already contains the volume label type
  making it unnecessary to copy the information again from e.g.
  label-&gt;vol.vollbl. Remove the 'temp' variable and the second copy as
  all information are already provided.
- Remove the 'found' variable and replace it with early returns

<title>partitions/ibm: Remove unnecessary memset</title>

The data holding the volume label information is zeroed in case no valid
volume label was found. Since the label information isn't used in that
case, zeroing the data doesn't provide any value whatsoever.

Remove the unnecessary memset() call accordingly.
