[ Upstream commit c8ab422553c81a0eb070329c63725df1cd1425bc ]

In brd_init func, rd_nr num of brd_device are firstly allocated
and add in brd_devices, then brd_devices are traversed to add each
brd_device by calling add_disk func. When allocating brd_device,
the disk-&gt;first_minor is set to i * max_part, if rd_nr * max_part
is larger than MINORMASK, two different brd_device may have the same
devt, then only one of them can be successfully added.
when rmmod brd.ko, it will cause oops when calling brd_exit.

Follow those steps:
  # modprobe brd rd_nr=3 rd_size=102400 max_part=1048576
  # rmmod brd
then, the oops will appear.

Oops log:

V5-&gt;V6:
 - remove useless code

V4-&gt;V5:(suggested by Ming Lei)
 - make sure max_part is not larger than DISK_MAX_PARTS

V3-&gt;V4:(suggested by Ming Lei)
 - remove useless change
 - add one limit of max_part

V2-&gt;V3: (suggested by Ming Lei)
 - clear .minors when running out of consecutive minor space in brd_alloc
 - remove limit of rd_nr

V1-&gt;V2:
 - add more checks in brd_check_par_valid as suggested by Ming Lei.

__GFP_HIGHMEM is disabled if dax is enabled on brd, however
dax support for brd has been removed since commit (7a862fbbdec6
"brd: remove dax support"), so restore __GFP_HIGHMEM in
brd_insert_page().

Also remove the no longer applicable comments about DAX and highmem.

brd_free() may be called in failure path on one brd instance which
disk isn't added yet, so release handler of gendisk may free the
associated request_queue early and causes the following use-after-free[1].

This patch fixes this issue by associating gendisk with request_queue
just before adding disk.

<title>block: make bdev_ops-&gt;rw_page() take a REQ_OP instead of bool</title>

c11f0c0b5bb9 ("block/mm: make bdev_ops-&gt;rw_page() take a bool for
read/write") replaced @op with boolean @is_write, which limited the
amount of information going into -&gt;rw_page() and more importantly
page_endio(), which removed the need to expose block internals to mm.

Unfortunately, we want to track discards separately and @is_write
isn't enough information.  This patch updates bdev_ops-&gt;rw_page() to
take REQ_OP instead but leaves page_endio() to take bool @is_write.
This allows the block part of operations to have enough information
while not leaking it to mm.

Convert the S_&lt;FOO&gt; symbolic permissions to their octal equivalents as
using octal and not symbolic permissions is preferred by many as more
readable.

It happens often while I'm preparing a patch for a block driver that
I'm wondering: is a definition of SECTOR_SIZE and/or SECTOR_SHIFT
available for this driver? Do I have to introduce definitions of these
constants before I can use these constants? To avoid this confusion,
move the existing definitions of SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT into the
&lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt; header file such that these become available for all
block drivers. Make the SECTOR_SIZE definition in the uapi msdos_fs.h
header file conditional to avoid that including that header file after
&lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt; causes the compiler to complain about a SECTOR_SIZE
redefinition.

Note: the SECTOR_SIZE / SECTOR_SHIFT / SECTOR_BITS definitions have
not been removed from uapi header files nor from NAND drivers in
which these constants are used for another purpose than converting
block layer offsets and sizes into a number of sectors.

Rename get_disk() to get_disk_and_module() to make sure what the
function does. It's not a great name but at least it is now clear that
put_disk() is not it's counterpart.
