Call bdev_get_queue(bdev) after bdev-&gt;bd_disk has been initialized
instead of just before that pointer has been initialized. This patch
avoids that the following command

pktsetup 1 /dev/sr0

triggers the following kernel crash:

Commit 523e1d399ce0 ("block: make gendisk hold a reference to its queue")
modified add_disk() and disk_release() but did not update any of the
error paths that trigger a put_disk() call after disk-&gt;queue has been
assigned. That introduced the following behavior in the pktcdvd driver
if pkt_new_dev() fails:

Kernel BUG at 00000000e98fd882 [verbose debug info unavailable]

Since disk_release() calls blk_put_queue() anyway if disk-&gt;queue != NULL,
fix this by removing the blk_cleanup_queue() call from the pkt_setup_dev()
error path.

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big driver core update for 4.13-rc1.

  The large majority of this is a lot of cleanup of old fields in the
  driver core structures and their remaining usages in random drivers.
  All of those fixes have been reviewed by the various subsystem
  maintainers. There's also some small firmware updates in here, a new
  kobject uevent api interface that makes userspace interaction easier,
  and a few other minor things.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a long while with no reported
  issues"

pktcdvd is a make_request based stacking driver and thus doesn't have any
addressing limits on it's own.  It also doesn't use bio_data() or
page_address(), so it doesn't need a lowmem bounce either.

<content type='text'>
Instead of explicitly calling scsi_req_init() after blk_get_request(),
call that function from inside blk_get_request(). Add an
.initialize_rq_fn() callback function to the block drivers that need
it. Merge the IDE .init_rq_fn() function into .initialize_rq_fn()
because it is too small to keep it as a separate function. Keep the
scsi_req_init() call in ide_prep_sense() because it follows a
blk_rq_init() call.

<title>pktcdvd: use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone()</title>

pktcdvd doesn't change the bi_io_vec of the clone bio,
so it is more efficient to use bio_clone_fast(), and not clone
the bi_io_vec.
This requires providing a bio_set, and it is safest to
provide a dedicated bio_set rather than sharing
fs_bio_set, which filesytems use.
This new bio_set, pkt_bio_set, can also be use for the bio_split()
call as the two allocations (bio_clone_fast, and bio_split) are
independent, neither can block a bio allocated by the other.

<title>blk: remove bio_set arg from blk_queue_split()</title>

blk_queue_split() is always called with the last arg being q-&gt;bio_split,
where 'q' is the first arg.

Also blk_queue_split() sometimes uses the passed-in 'bs' and sometimes uses
q-&gt;bio_split.

This is inconsistent and unnecessary.  Remove the last arg and always use
q-&gt;bio_split inside blk_queue_split()

Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion.
Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which
we'll have to keep arround at least for now and thus propagate to a
proper blk_status_t value.
