Discards can access a significant capacity and take longer than the user
expected. A user may change their mind about wanting to run that command
and attempt to kill the process and do something else with their device.
But since the task is uninterruptable, they have to wait for it to
finish, which could be many hours.
Open code blkdev_issue_discard in the BLKDISCARD ioctl handler and check
for a fatal signal at each iteration so the user doesn't have to wait
for their regretted operation to complete naturally.
Heavily based on an earlier patch from Keith Busch.

Most bio operations get basic sanity checking in submit_bio and anything
more complicated than that is done in the callers. Discards are a bit
different from that in that a lot of checking is done in
__blkdev_issue_discard, and the specific errnos for that are returned
to userspace. Move the checks that require specific errnos to the ioctl
handler instead, and just leave the basic sanity checking in submit_bio
for the other handlers. This introduces two changes in behavior:
1) the logical block size alignment check of the start and len is lost
for non-ioctl callers.
This matches what is done for other operations including reads and
writes. We should probably verify this for all bios, but for now
make discards match the normal flow.
2) for non-ioctl callers all errors are reported on I/O completion now
instead of synchronously. Callers in general mostly ignore or log
errors so this will actually simplify the code once cleaned up

Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.super' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull block handle updates from Christian Brauner:
"Last cycle we changed opening of block devices, and opening a block
device would return a bdev_handle. This allowed us to implement
support for restricting and forbidding writes to mounted block
devices. It was accompanied by converting and adding helpers to
operate on bdev_handles instead of plain block devices.
That was already a good step forward but ultimately it isn't necessary
to have special purpose helpers for opening block devices internally
that return a bdev_handle.
Fundamentally, opening a block device internally should just be
equivalent to opening files. So now all internal opens of block
devices return files just as a userspace open would. Instead of
introducing a separate indirection into bdev_open_by_*() via struct
bdev_handle bdev_file_open_by_*() is made to just return a struct
file. Opening and closing a block device just becomes equivalent to
opening and closing a file.
This all works well because internally we already have a pseudo fs for
block devices and so opening block devices is simple. There's a few
places where we needed to be careful such as during boot when the
kernel is supposed to mount the rootfs directly without init doing it.
Here we need to take care to ensure that we flush out any asynchronous
file close. That's what we already do for opening, unpacking, and
closing the initramfs. So nothing new here.
The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to regular files
is a win in and of itself. But it also has various other advantages.
We can remove struct bdev_handle completely. Various low-level helpers
are now private to the block layer. Other helpers were simply
removable completely.
A follow-up series that is already reviewed build on this and makes it
possible to remove bdev->bd_inode and allows various clean ups of the
buffer head code as well. All places where we stashed a bdev_handle
now just stash a file and use simple accessors to get to the actual
block device which was already the case for bdev_handle"

Before calling add partition or resize partition, there is no check
on whether the length is aligned with the logical block size.
If the logical block size of the disk is larger than 512 bytes,
then the partition size maybe not the multiple of the logical block size,
and when the last sector is read, bio_truncate() will adjust the bio size,
resulting in an IO error if the size of the read command is smaller than
the logical block size.If integrity data is supported, this will also
result in a null pointer dereference when calling bio_integrity_free.

The implementation of bdev holder operations such as fs_bdev_mark_dead()
and fs_bdev_sync() grab sb->s_umount semaphore under
bdev->bd_holder_lock. This is problematic because it leads to
disk->open_mutex -> sb->s_umount lock ordering which is counterintuitive
(usually we grab higher level (e.g. filesystem) locks first and lower
level (e.g. block layer) locks later) and indeed makes lockdep complain
about possible locking cycles whenever we open a block device while
holding sb->s_umount semaphore. Implement a function
bdev_super_lock_shared() which safely transitions from holding
bdev->bd_holder_lock to holding sb->s_umount on alive superblock without
introducing the problematic lock dependency. We use this function
fs_bdev_sync() and fs_bdev_mark_dead().

Since commit 10c70d95c0 ("block: remove the bd_openers checks in
blk_drop_partitions") we allow rereading of partition table although
there are users of the block device. This has an undesirable consequence
that e.g. if sda and sdb are assembled to a RAID1 device md0 with
partitions, BLKRRPART ioctl on sda will rescan partition table and
create sda1 device. This partition device under a raid device confuses
some programs (such as libstorage-ng used for initial partitioning for
distribution installation) leading to failures.
Fix the problem refusing to rescan partitions if there is another user
that has the block device exclusively open.

blkdev_get variants (and the blk-cgroup special case). This means that
we now don't need an extra reference in the inode and can generally
simplify handling of struct block_device to keep the lookups contained
in the core block layer code.

Add a new method to allow for driver-specific processing when setting or
clearing the block device read-only state. This allows to replace the
cumbersome and error-prone override of the whole ioctl implementation.

BLKFLSBUF is entirely contained in the block core, and there is no
good reason to give the driver a hook into processing it.
