<content type='text'>
In null_add_dev(), if an error happen after initializing the resources
for a zoned null block device, we must free these resources before
exiting the function. To ensure this, move the out_cleanup_zone label
after out_cleanup_disk as we jump to this latter label if an error
happens after calling null_init_zoned_dev().

Since commit 8b631f9cf0b8 ("null_blk: remove the bio based I/O path"),
struct nullb members queue_depth and nr_queues are only ever written, so
delete them.

With that, null_exit_hctx() can also be deleted.

<title>null_blk: remove the bio based I/O path</title>

<id>8b631f9cf0b84ac59cd4f0c6dcd2d0cb80dd8a49</id>
<content type='text'>
The bio based I/O path complicates null_blk and also make various
data structures, including the per-command one way bigger than
required for the main request based interface.   As the bio-based
path is mostly used by stacking drivers and simple memory based
drivers, and brd is a good example driver for the latter there is
no need to have a bio based path in null_blk.  Remove the path
to simplify the driver and make future block layer API changes
simpler by not having to deal with the complex two API setup in
null_blk.

Note that the queue_mode field in struct nullb_device is kept as
that is simpler than having two different places to check the
value and fully open coding the debugfs helpers as the existing
ones won't work without a named struct member.

Pass a queue_limits to blk_alloc_disk and apply it if non-NULL.  This
will allow allocating queues with valid queue limits instead of setting
the values one at a time later.

Also change blk_alloc_disk to return an ERR_PTR instead of just NULL
which can't distinguish errors.

Allow setting shared_tags through configfs, which could only be set as a
module parameter. For that purpose, delay tag_set initialization from
null_init() to null_add_dev(). Refer tag_set.ops as the flag to check if
tag_set is initialized or not.

The following parameters can not be set through configfs yet:

    timeout
    requeue
    init_hctx
