Currently find_first_extent_bit() returns a 0 if it found a range in the
given io tree and 1 if it didn't find any. There's no need to return any
errors, so make the return value a boolean and invert the logic to make
more sense: return true if it found a range and false if it didn't find
any range.

<title>btrfs: drop gfp from parameter extent state helpers</title>

Now that all extent state bit helpers effectively take the GFP_NOFS mask
(and GFP_NOWAIT is encoded in the bits) we can remove the parameter.
This reduces stack consumption in many functions and simplifies a lot of
code.

Net effect on module on a release build:

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

<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.

<title>btrfs: use btrfs_dev_name() helper to handle missing devices better</title>

<id>cb3e217bdb39e390f8e64af519acb02af336b53d</id>
<content type='text'>
[BUG]
If dev-replace failed to re-construct its data/metadata, the kernel
message would be incorrect for the missing device:

 BTRFS info (device dm-1): dev_replace from &lt;missing disk&gt; (devid 2) to /dev/mapper/test-scratch2 started
 BTRFS error (device dm-1): failed to rebuild valid logical 38862848 for dev (efault)

Note the above "dev (efault)" of the second line.
While the first line is properly reporting "&lt;missing disk&gt;".

[CAUSE]
Although dev-replace is using btrfs_dev_name(), the heavy lifting work
is still done by scrub (scrub is reused by both dev-replace and regular
scrub).

Unfortunately scrub code never uses btrfs_dev_name() helper, as it's
only declared locally inside dev-replace.c.

[FIX]
Fix the output by:

- Move the btrfs_dev_name() helper to volumes.h

- Use btrfs_dev_name() to replace open-coded rcu_str_deref() calls
  Only zoned code is not touched, as I'm not familiar with degraded
  zoned code.

- Constify return value and parameter

Now the output looks pretty sane:

 BTRFS info (device dm-1): dev_replace from &lt;missing disk&gt; (devid 2) to /dev/mapper/test-scratch2 started
 BTRFS error (device dm-1): failed to rebuild valid logical 38862848 for dev &lt;missing disk&gt;

Fix the output by:

- Move the btrfs_dev_name() helper to volumes.h

- Use btrfs_dev_name() to replace open-coded rcu_str_deref() calls
  Only zoned code is not touched, as I'm not familiar with degraded
  zoned code.

- Constify return value and parameter

Now the output looks pretty sane:

 BTRFS info (device dm-1): dev_replace from &lt;missing disk&gt; (devid 2) to /dev/mapper/test-scratch2 started
 BTRFS error (device dm-1): failed to rebuild valid logical 38862848 for dev &lt;missing disk&gt;

There is a repeating code section in the parent function after calling
btrfs_alloc_device(), as below:

      name = rcu_string_strdup(path, GFP_...);
      if (!name) {
              btrfs_free_device(device);
              return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
      }
      rcu_assign_pointer(device-&gt;name, name);

Except in add_missing_dev() for obvious reasons.

This patch consolidates that repeating code into the btrfs_alloc_device()
itself so that the parent function doesn't have to duplicate code.
This consolidation also helps to review issues regarding RCU lock
violation with device-&gt;name.

Parent function device_list_add() and add_missing_dev() use GFP_NOFS for
the allocation, whereas the rest of the parent functions use GFP_KERNEL,
so bring the NOFS allocation context using memalloc_nofs_save() in the
function device_list_add() and add_missing_dev() is already doing it.
