Pull ceph updates from Ilya Dryomov:
 "The big ticket item here is support for msgr2 on-wire protocol, which
  adds the option of full in-transit encryption using AES-GCM algorithm
  (myself).

  On top of that we have a series to avoid intermittent errors during
  recovery with recover_session=clean and some MDS request encoding work
  from Jeff, a cap handling fix and assorted observability improvements
  from Luis and Xiubo and a good number of cleanups.

  Luis also ran into a corner case with quotas which sadly means that we
  are back to denying cross-quota-realm renames"

For libceph, this ensures that libceph instance sharing (share option)
continues to work.  For rbd, this avoids blocklisting alive lock owners
(locker addr is always LEGACY, while watcher addr is ANY in nautilus).

Use set_capacity_and_notify to set the size of both the disk and block
device.  This also gets the uevent notifications for the resize for free.

<title>bdi: replace BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES with a queue and a sb flag</title>

<id>1cb039f3dc1619eb795c54aad0a98fdb379b4237</id>
<content type='text'>
The BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES is one of the few bits of information in the
backing_dev_info shared between the block drivers and the writeback code.
To help untangling the dependency replace it with a queue flag and a
superblock flag derived from it.  This also helps with the case of e.g.
a file system requiring stable writes due to its own checksumming, but
not forcing it on other users of the block device like the swap code.

One downside is that we an't support the stable_pages_required bdi
attribute in sysfs anymore.  It is replaced with a queue attribute which
also is writable for easier testing.

<title>rbd: require global CAP_SYS_ADMIN for mapping and unmapping</title>

It turns out that currently we rely only on sysfs attribute
permissions:

  $ ll /sys/bus/rbd/{add*,remove*}
  --w------- 1 root root 4096 Sep  3 20:37 /sys/bus/rbd/add
  --w------- 1 root root 4096 Sep  3 20:37 /sys/bus/rbd/add_single_major
  --w------- 1 root root 4096 Sep  3 20:37 /sys/bus/rbd/remove
  --w------- 1 root root 4096 Sep  3 20:38 /sys/bus/rbd/remove_single_major

This means that images can be mapped and unmapped (i.e. block devices
can be created and deleted) by a UID 0 process even after it drops all
privileges or by any process with CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE in its user namespace
as long as UID 0 is mapped into that user namespace.

Be consistent with other virtual block devices (loop, nbd, dm, md, etc)
and require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the initial user namespace for mapping and
unmapping, and also for dumping the configuration string and refreshing
the image header.

Be consistent with other virtual block devices (loop, nbd, dm, md, etc)
and require CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the initial user namespace for mapping and
unmapping, and also for dumping the configuration string and refreshing
the image header.

revalidate_disk is a relative awkward helper for driver use, as it first
calls an optional driver method and then updates the block device size,
while most callers either don't need the method call at all, or want to
keep state between the caller and the called method.

Add a revalidate_disk_size helper that just performs the update of the
block device size from the gendisk one, and switch all drivers that do
not implement -&gt;revalidate_disk to use the new helper instead of
revalidate_disk()
