block: use bi_max_vecs to find the bvec pool

2021-02-08T15:33:16+00:00

Instead of encoding of the bvec pool using magic bio flags, just use
a helper to find the pool based on the max_vecs value.

block: do not reassig ->bi_bdev when partition remapping

2021-01-25T01:17:20+00:00

There is no good reason to reassign ->bi_bdev when remapping the
partition-relative block number to the device wide one, as all the
information required by the drivers comes from the gendisk anyway.

Keeping the original ->bi_bdev alive will allow to greatly simplify
the partition-away I/O accounting.

block: store a block_device pointer in struct bio

2021-01-25T01:17:20+00:00

Replace the gendisk pointer in struct bio with a pointer to the newly
improved struct block device.  From that the gendisk can be trivially
accessed with an extra indirection, but it also allows to directly
look up all information related to partition remapping.

block: merge struct block_device and struct hd_struct

2020-12-01T21:53:40+00:00

Instead of having two structures that represent each block device with
different life time rules, merge them into a single one.  This also
greatly simplifies the reference counting rules, as we can use the inode
reference count as the main reference count for the new struct
block_device, with the device model reference front ending it for device
model interaction.

block: allocate struct hd_struct as part of struct bdev_inode

2020-12-01T21:53:40+00:00

Allocate hd_struct together with struct block_device to pre-load
the lifetime rule changes in preparation of merging the two structures.

Note that part0 was previously embedded into struct gendisk, but is
a separate allocation now, and already points to the block_device instead
of the hd_struct.  The lifetime of struct gendisk is still controlled by
the struct device embedded in the part0 hd_struct.

block: move the policy field to struct block_device

2020-12-01T21:53:40+00:00

Move the policy field to struct block_device and rename it to the
more descriptive bd_read_only.  Also turn the field into a bool as it
is used as such.
