Some drivers often use external bvec table, so introduce
this helper for this case. It is always safe to access the
bio-&gt;bi_io_vec in this way for this case.

After converting to this usage, it will becomes a bit easier
to evaluate the remaining direct access to bio-&gt;bi_io_vec,
so it can help to prepare for the following multipage bvec
support.

Commit 09954bad4 ("floppy: refactor open() flags handling"), as a
side-effect, causes open(/dev/fdX, O_ACCMODE) to fail. It turns out that
this is being used setfdprm userspace for ioctl-only open().

Reintroduce back the original behavior wrt !(FMODE_READ|FMODE_WRITE)
modes, while still keeping the original O_NDELAY bug fixed.

For block drivers that specify a parent device, convert them to use
device_add_disk().

This conversion was done with the following semantic patch:

    @@
    struct gendisk *disk;
    expression E;

    - disk-&gt;driverfs_dev = E;
    ...

...plus some manual fixups for a few missed conversions.

<content type='text'>
This patch converts the simple bi_rw use cases in the block,
drivers, mm and fs code to set/get the bio operation using
bio_set_op_attrs/bio_op

These should be simple one or two liner cases, so I just did them
in one patch. The next patches handle the more complicated
cases in a module per patch.

This has callers of submit_bio/submit_bio_wait set the bio-&gt;bi_rw

generic_make_request and how we set the other bio fields.

In case /dev/fdX is open with O_NDELAY / O_NONBLOCK, floppy_open() immediately
succeeds, without performing any further media / controller preparations.
That's "correct" wrt. the NODELAY flag, but is hardly correct wrt. the rest
of the floppy driver, that is not really O_NONBLOCK ready, at all. Therefore
it's not too surprising, that subsequent attempts to work with the
filedescriptor produce bad results. Namely, syzkaller tool has been able
to livelock mmap() on the returned fd to keep waiting on the page unlock
bit forever.

Quite frankly, I have trouble defining what non-blocking behavior would be for
floppies. Is waiting ages for the driver to actually succeed reading a sector
blocking operation? Is waiting for drive motor to start blocking operation? How
about in case of virtualized floppies?

One option would be returning EWOULDBLOCK in case O_NDLEAY / O_NONBLOCK is
being passed to open(). That has a theoretical potential of breaking some
arcane and archaic userspace though.

Let's take a more conservative aproach, and accept the O_NDLEAY flag, and let
the driver behave as usual.

While at it, clean up a bit handling of !(mode &amp; (FMODE_READ|FMODE_WRITE))
case and return EINVAL instead of succeeding as well.

Spotted by syzkaller tool.
