When nr_hw_queues shrink, we free the excess tags before realloc'ing
hw_ctxs for each queue. During that resize, we may need to access those
tags, like blk_mq_tag_idle(hctx) will access queue shared tags.

This can cause a slab use-after-free, as reported by KASAN. Fix it by
moving the releasing of excess tags to the end.

There is no need to unpin the added page when adding it to the bio fails
as that is done by the loop below.  Instead we want to unpin it when adding
a single page to the bio more than once as bio_release_pages will only
unpin it once.

Commit a33df75c6328 ("block: use an xarray for disk-&gt;part_tbl") remove
disk_expand_part_tbl() in add_partition(), which means all kinds of
devices will support extended dynamic `dev_t`.
However, some devices with GENHD_FL_NO_PART are not expected to add or
resize partition.
Fix this by adding check of GENHD_FL_NO_PART before add or resize
partition.

<title>blk-throttle: consider 'carryover_ios/bytes' in throtl_trim_slice()</title>

Currently, 'carryover_ios/bytes' is not handled in throtl_trim_slice(),
for consequence, 'carryover_ios/bytes' will be used to throttle bio
multiple times, for example:

1) set iops limit to 100, and slice start is 0, slice end is 100ms;
2) current time is 0, and 10 ios are dispatched, those io won't be
   throttled and io_disp is 10;
3) still at current time 0, update iops limit to 1000, carryover_ios is
   updated to (0 - 10) = -10;
4) in this slice(0 - 100ms), io_allowed = 100 + (-10) = 90, which means
   only 90 ios can be dispatched without waiting;
5) assume that io is throttled in slice(0 - 100ms), and
   throtl_trim_slice() update silce to (100ms - 200ms). In this case,
   'carryover_ios/bytes' is not cleared and still only 90 ios can be
   dispatched between 100ms - 200ms.

Fix this problem by updating 'carryover_ios/bytes' in
throtl_trim_slice().

<title>blk-throttle: fix wrong comparation while 'carryover_ios/bytes' is negative</title>

carryover_ios/bytes[] can be negative in the case that ios are
dispatched in the slice in advance, and then configuration is updated.
For example:

1) set iops limit to 1000, and slice start is 0, slice end is 100ms;
2) current time is 0, and 100 ios are dispatched, those ios will not be
   throttled, hence io_disp is 100;
3) still at current time 0, update iops limit to 100, then carryover_ios
   is (0 - 100) = -100;
4) then, dispatch a new io at time 0, the expected result is that this
   io will wait for 1s. The calculation in tg_within_iops_limit:

   io_disp = 0;
   io_allowed = calculate_io_allowed + carryover_ios
	      = 10 + (-100) = -90;
   io won't be throttled if (io_disp + 1 &lt; io_allowed) passed.

Before this patch, in step 4) (io_disp + 1 &lt; io_allowed) is passed,
because -90 for unsigned value is very huge, and such io won't be
throttled.

Fix this problem by checking if 'io/bytes_allowed' is negative first.

Pull superblock updates from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains the super rework that was ready for this cycle. The
  first part changes the order of how we open block devices and allocate
  superblocks, contains various cleanups, simplifications, and a new
  mechanism to wait on superblock state changes.

  This unblocks work to ultimately limit the number of writers to a
  block device. Jan has already scheduled follow-up work that will be
  ready for v6.7 and allows us to restrict the number of writers to a
  given block device. That series builds on this work right here.

  The second part contains filesystem freezing updates.

  Overview:

  The generic superblock changes are rougly organized as follows
  (ignoring additional minor cleanups):

   (1) Removal of the bd_super member from struct block_device.

       This was a very odd back pointer to struct super_block with
       unclear rules. For all relevant places we have other means to get
       the same information so just get rid of this.

   (2) Simplify rules for superblock cleanup.

       Roughly, everything that is allocated during fs_context
       initialization and that's stored in fs_context-&gt;s_fs_info needs
       to be cleaned up by the fs_context-&gt;free() implementation before
       the superblock allocation function has been called successfully.

       After sget_fc() returned fs_context-&gt;s_fs_info has been
       transferred to sb-&gt;s_fs_info at which point sb-&gt;kill_sb() if
       fully responsible for cleanup. Adhering to these rules means that
       cleanup of sb-&gt;s_fs_info in fill_super() is to be avoided as it's
       brittle and inconsistent.

       Cleanup shouldn't be duplicated between sb-&gt;put_super() as
       sb-&gt;put_super() is only called if sb-&gt;s_root has been set aka
       when the filesystem has been successfully born (SB_BORN). That
       complexity should be avoided.

       This also means that block devices are to be closed in
       sb-&gt;kill_sb() instead of sb-&gt;put_super(). More details in the
       lower section.

   (3) Make it possible to lookup or create a superblock before opening
       block devices

       There's a subtle dependency on (2) as some filesystems did rely
       on fill_super() to be called in order to correctly clean up
       sb-&gt;s_fs_info. All these filesystems have been fixed.

   (4) Switch most filesystem to follow the same logic as the generic
       mount code now does as outlined in (3).

   (5) Use the superblock as the holder of the block device. We can now
       easily go back from block device to owning superblock.

   (6) Export and extend the generic fs_holder_ops and use them as
       holder ops everywhere and remove the filesystem specific holder
       ops.

   (7) Call from the block layer up into the filesystem layer when the
       block device is removed, allowing to shut down the filesystem
       without risk of deadlocks.

   (8) Get rid of get_super().

       We can now easily go back from the block device to owning
       superblock and can call up from the block layer into the
       filesystem layer when the device is removed. So no need to wade
       through all registered superblock to find the owning superblock
       anymore"
