block: remove the bd_openers checks in blk_drop_partitions

2020-04-30T16:25:43+00:00

When replacing the bd_super check with a bd_openers I followed a logical conclusion, which turns out to be utterly wrong. When a block device has bd_super sets it has a mount file system on it (although not every mounted file system sets bd_super), but that also implies it doesn't even have partitions to start with. So instead of trying to come up with a logical check for all openers, just remove the check entirely.

block: fix busy device checking in blk_drop_partitions again

2020-04-10T14:34:11+00:00

The previous fix had an off by one in the bd_openers checking, counting the callers blkdev_get. Fixes: d3ef5536274f ("block: fix busy device checking in blk_drop_partitions") Reported-by: Qian Cai Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Tested-by: Qian Cai Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

bd_super is only set by get_tree_bdev and mount_bdev, and thus not by other openers like btrfs or the XFS realtime and log devices, as well as block devices directly opened from user space. Check bd_openers instead. Fixes: 77032ca66f86 ("Return EBUSY from BLKRRPART for mounted whole-dev fs") Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Pull EFI updates from Ingo Molnar: "The EFI changes in this cycle are much larger than usual, for two (positive) reasons: - The GRUB project is showing signs of life again, resulting in the introduction of the generic Linux/UEFI boot protocol, instead of x86 specific hacks which are increasingly difficult to maintain. There's hope that all future extensions will now go through that boot protocol. - Preparatory work for RISC-V EFI support. The main changes are: - Boot time GDT handling changes - Simplify handling of EFI properties table on arm64 - Generic EFI stub cleanups, to improve command line handling, file I/O, memory allocation, etc. - Introduce a generic initrd loading method based on calling back into the firmware, instead of relying on the x86 EFI handover protocol or device tree. - Introduce a mixed mode boot method that does not rely on the x86 EFI handover protocol either, and could potentially be adopted by other architectures (if another one ever surfaces where one execution mode is a superset of another) - Clean up the contents of 'struct efi', and move out everything that doesn't need to be stored there. - Incorporate support for UEFI spec v2.8A changes that permit firmware implementations to return EFI_UNSUPPORTED from UEFI runtime services at OS runtime, and expose a mask of which ones are supported or unsupported via a configuration table. - Partial fix for the lack of by-VA cache maintenance in the decompressor on 32-bit ARM. - Changes to load device firmware from EFI boot service memory regions - Various documentation updates and minor code cleanups and fixes" * 'efi-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (114 commits) efi/libstub/arm: Fix spurious message that an initrd was loaded efi/libstub/arm64: Avoid image_base value from efi_loaded_image partitions/efi: Fix partition name parsing in GUID partition entry efi/x86: Fix cast of image argument efi/libstub/x86: Use ULONG_MAX as upper bound for all allocations efi: Fix a mistype in comments mentioning efivar_entry_iter_begin() efi/libstub: Avoid linking libstub/lib-ksyms.o into vmlinux efi/x86: Preserve %ebx correctly in efi_set_virtual_address_map() efi/x86: Ignore the memory attributes table on i386 efi/x86: Don't relocate the kernel unless necessary efi/x86: Remove extra headroom for setup block efi/x86: Add kernel preferred address to PE header efi/x86: Decompress at start of PE image load address x86/boot/compressed/32: Save the output address instead of recalculating it efi/libstub/x86: Deal with exit() boot service returning x86/boot: Use unsigned comparison for addresses efi/x86: Avoid using code32_start efi/x86: Make efi32_pe_entry() more readable efi/x86: Respect 32-bit ABI in efi32_pe_entry() efi/x86: Annotate the LOADED_IMAGE_PROTOCOL_GUID with SYM_DATA ...

block: move block layer internals out of include/linux/genhd.h

block: merge partition-generic.c and check.c

2020-03-24T13:57:08+00:00

Merge block/partition-generic.c and block/partitions/check.c into a single block/partitions/core.c as the content is closely related and both files are tiny. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: move the various x86 Unix label formats out of genhd.h

2020-03-24T13:57:08+00:00

All these are just used in block/partitions/msdos.c, so move them out of the genhd.h driver included by every driver. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

partitions/msdos: remove LINUX_SWAP_PARTITION

2020-03-24T13:57:08+00:00

Just always use NEW_SOLARIS_X86_PARTITION and explain the situation, as that is less confusing than two names for a single value. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: move the *_PARTITION enum out of genhd.h

2020-03-24T13:57:08+00:00

The enum containing the *_PARTITION symbolic names is only relevant for the partition parser. More specifically most values are MSDOS partition table system indicators and thus should go straight into msdos.c. One value is only used by the sun partition parser, and the sun and sgi partition parsers use the same value as the x86 Linux RAID indicator to also indicate RAID autodetection. Duplicate them in sun.c and sgi.c given that the different partition types use entirely different values otherwise. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: move struct partition out of genhd.h

2020-03-24T13:57:08+00:00

struct partition is the on-disk format of a MSDOS partition table entry. Move it out of genhd.h into a new msdos_partition.h header and give it a msdos_ prefix to avoid confusion. Also move the magic number from block/partitions/msdos.h to the new header so that it can be used by the SCSI drivers looking at the DOS partition tables.
