The same struct bdev_handle is then also passed to block device closing functions. This allows us to propagate context from opening to closing a block device without having to modify all users everytime. Sidenote, in the future we might even want to try and have block device opening functions return a struct file directly but that's a series on top of this. These are further preparatory changes to be able to count writable opens and blocking writes to mounted block devices. That's a separate piece of work for next cycle and for that we absolutely need the changes to btrfs that have been quietly dropped somehow. Originally the series contained a patch that removed the old blkdev_*() helpers. But since this would've caused needles churn in -next for bcachefs we ended up delaying it. The second piece of work addresses one of the major annoyances about the work last cycle, namely that we required dropping s_umount whenever we used the superblock and fs_holder_ops for a block device. The reason for that requirement had been that in some codepaths s_umount could've been taken under disk->open_mutex (that's always been the case, at least theoretically). For example, on surprise block device removal or media change. And opening and closing block devices required grabbing disk->open_mutex as well. So we did the work and went through the block layer and fixed all those places so that s_umount is never taken under disk->open_mutex. This means no more brittle games where we yield and reacquire s_umount during block device opening and closing and no more requirements where block devices need to be closed. Filesystems don't need to care about this. There's a bunch of other follow-up work such as moving block device freezing and thawing to holder operations which makes it work for all block devices and not just the main block device just as we did for surprise removal. But that is for next cycle.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
