<title>zram: take device and not only bvec offset into account</title>

Commit af8b04c63708 ("zram: simplify bvec iteration in
__zram_make_request") changed the bio iteration in zram to rely on the
implicit capping to page boundaries in bio_for_each_segment.  But it
failed to care for the fact zram not only care about the page alignment
of the bio payload, but also the page alignment into the device.  For
buffered I/O and swap those are the same, but for direct I/O or kernel
internal I/O like XFS log buffer writes they can differ.

Fix this by open coding bio_for_each_segment and limiting the bvec len
so that it never crosses over a page alignment boundary in the device
in addition to the payload boundary already taken care of by
bio_iter_iovec.

<title>zram: further limit recompression threshold</title>

Recompression threshold should be below huge-size-class watermark.  Any
object larger than huge-size-class is a "huge object" and occupies a
whole physical page on the zsmalloc side, in other words it's
incompressible, as far as zsmalloc is concerned.

<title>block: replace fmode_t with a block-specific type for block open flags</title>

<content type='text'>
The only overlap between the block open flags mapped into the fmode_t and
other uses of fmode_t are FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE.  Define a new
blk_mode_t instead for use in blkdev_get_by_{dev,path}, -&gt;open and
-&gt;ioctl and stop abusing fmode_t.

<title>block: use the holder as indication for exclusive opens</title>

<id>2736e8eeb0ccdc71d1f4256c9c9a28f58cc43307</id>
<content type='text'>
The current interface for exclusive opens is rather confusing as it
requires both the FMODE_EXCL flag and a holder.  Remove the need to pass
FMODE_EXCL and just key off the exclusive open off a non-NULL holder.

For blkdev_put this requires adding the holder argument, which provides
better debug checking that only the holder actually releases the hold,
but at the same time allows removing the now superfluous mode argument.

Add a new blk_holder_ops structure, which is passed to blkdev_get_by_* and
installed in the block_device for exclusive claims.  It will be used to
allow the block layer to call back into the user of the block device for
thing like notification of a removed device or a device resize.

The zram writeback code uses bio_add_page() to add a page to a newly
created bio. bio_add_page() can fail, but the return value is never
checked.

Use __bio_add_page() as adding a single page to a newly created bio is
guaranteed to succeed.

This brings us a step closer to marking bio_add_page() as __must_check.

Pull more block updates from Jens Axboe:

 - MD pull request via Song:
      - Improve raid5 sequential IO performance on spinning disks, which
        fixes a regression since v6.0 (Jan Kara)
      - Fix bitmap offset types, which fixes an issue introduced in this
        merge window (Jonathan Derrick)

 - Cleanup of hweight type used for cgroup writeback (Maxim)

 - Fix a regression with the "has_submit_bio" changes across partitions
   (Ming)

 - Cleanup of QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM clearing.

   We used to set this flag on queues non blk-mq queues, and hence some
   drivers clear it unconditionally. Since all of these have since been
   converted to true blk-mq drivers, drop the useless clear as the bit
   is not set (Chaitanya)

 - Fix the flags being set in a bio for a flush for drbd (Christoph)

 - Cleanup and deduplication of the code handling setting block device
   capacity (Damien)

 - Fix for ublk handling IO timeouts (Ming)

 - Fix for a regression in blk-cgroup teardown (Tao)

 - NBD documentation and code fixes (Eric)

 - Convert blk-integrity to using device_attributes rather than a second
   kobject to manage lifetimes (Thomas)

* tag 'for-6.4/block-2023-05-06' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux:
  ublk: add timeout handler
  drbd: correctly submit flush bio on barrier
  mailmap: add mailmap entries for Jens Axboe
  block: Skip destroyed blkg when restart in blkg_destroy_all()
  writeback: fix call of incorrect macro
  md: Fix bitmap offset type in sb writer
  md/raid5: Improve performance for sequential IO
  docs nbd: userspace NBD now favors github over sourceforge
  block nbd: use req.cookie instead of req.handle
  uapi nbd: add cookie alias to handle
  uapi nbd: improve doc links to userspace spec
  blk-integrity: register sysfs attributes on struct device
  blk-integrity: convert to struct device_attribute
  blk-integrity: use sysfs_emit
  block/drivers: remove dead clear of random flag
  block: sync part's -&gt;bd_has_submit_bio with disk's
  block: Cleanup set_capacity()/bdev_set_nr_sectors()
