This change adds LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE as one of the supported ioctls
in lo_compat_ioctl. It only takes an unsigned long argument, and
in practice a 32-bit value works fine.

The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "A few fixes for this merge window, where some of them should go in
  sooner rather than later, hence a new pull this week. This pull
  request contains:

   - Set of NVMe fixes, mostly follow up cleanups/fixes to the queue
     changes, but also teardown/removal and misc changes (Christop/Dan/
     Johannes/Sagi/Steve).

   - Two lightnvm fixes for issues that showed up in this window
     (Colin/Wei).

   - Failfast/driver flags inheritance for flush requests (Hannes).

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "A few fixes for this merge window, where some of them should go in
  sooner rather than later, hence a new pull this week. This pull
  request contains:

   - Set of NVMe fixes, mostly follow up cleanups/fixes to the queue
     changes, but also teardown/removal and misc changes (Christop/Dan/
     Johannes/Sagi/Steve).

   - Two lightnvm fixes for issues that showed up in this window
     (Colin/Wei).

   - Failfast/driver flags inheritance for flush requests (Hannes).

   - The md device put sanitization and fix (Kent).

   - dm bio_set inheritance fix (me).

<title>loop: add recursion validation to LOOP_CHANGE_FD</title>

<id>d2ac838e4cd7e5e9891ecc094d626734b0245c99</id>
<content type='text'>
Refactor the validation code used in LOOP_SET_FD so it is also used in
LOOP_CHANGE_FD.  Otherwise it is possible to construct a set of loop
devices that all refer to each other.  This can lead to a infinite
loop in starting with "while (is_loop_device(f)) .." in loop_set_fd().

Fix this by refactoring out the validation code and using it for
LOOP_CHANGE_FD as well as LOOP_SET_FD.

This is the per-I/O equivalent of the ioprio_set system call.

When IOCB_FLAG_IOPRIO is set on the iocb aio_flags field, then we set the
newly added kiocb ki_ioprio field to the value in the iocb aio_reqprio field.

This patch depends on block: add ioprio_check_cap function.

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.

<title>loop: clear wb_err in bd_inode when detaching backing file</title>

<id>eedffa28c9b00ca2dcb4d541b5a530f4c917052d</id>
<content type='text'>
When a loop block device encounters a writeback error, that error will
get propagated to the bd_inode's wb_err field. If we then detach the
backing file from it, attach another and fsync it, we'll get back the
writeback error that we had from the previous backing file.

This is a bit of a grey area as POSIX doesn't cover loop devices, but it
is somewhat counterintuitive.

If we detach a backing file from the loopdev while there are still
unreported errors, take it as a sign that we're no longer interested in
the previous file, and clear out the wb_err in the loop blockdev.
