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

2020-03-24T13:57:08Z

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: cleanup how md_autodetect_dev is called

2020-03-24T13:57:08Z

Add a new include/linux/raid/detect.h header to declare the md_autodetect_dev prototype which can be shared between md and the partition code. Then use IS_BUILTIN to call it instead of the ifdef magic. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: unexport read_dev_sector and put_dev_sector

2020-03-24T13:57:08Z

read_dev_sector and put_dev_sector are now only used by the partition parsing code. Remove the export for read_dev_sector and merge it into the only caller. Clean the mess up a bit by using goto labels and the SECTOR_SHIFT constant. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: remove alloc_part_info and free_part_info

2020-03-24T13:57:07Z

There isn't any good reason not to simply open code the allocation and freeing of the partition_meta_info structure. Especially as one of the branches in alloc_part_info is entirely dead code. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: move sysfs methods shared by disks and partitions to genhd.c

2020-03-24T13:57:07Z

Move the sysfs _show methods that are used both on the full disk and partition nodes to genhd.c instead of hiding them in the partitioning code. Also move the declaration for these methods to block/blk.h so that we don't expose them to drivers. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: move disk_name and related helpers out of partition-generic.c

2020-03-24T13:57:07Z

Thes functions aren't really related to partition support, so move them to a more suitable place. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: remove __bdevname

2020-03-24T13:57:07Z

There is no good reason for __bdevname to exist. Just open code printing the string in the callers. For three of them the format string can be trivially merged into existing printk statements, and in init/do_mounts.c we can at least do the scnprintf once at the start of the function, and unconditional of CONFIG_BLOCK to make the output for tiny configfs a little more helpful.

block: allow partitions on host aware zone devices

2020-01-26T16:59:08Z

Host-aware SMR drives can be used with the commands to explicitly manage zone state, but they can also be used as normal disks. In the former case it makes perfect sense to allow partitions on them, in the latter it does not, just like for host managed devices. Add a check to add_partition to allow partitions on host aware devices, but give up any zone management capabilities in that case, which also catches the previously missed case of adding a partition vs just scanning it. Because sd can rescan the attribute at runtime it needs to check if a disk has partitions, for which a new helper is added to genhd.h.
