block: merge struct block_device and struct hd_struct

2020-12-01T21:53:40Z

Instead of having two structures that represent each block device with different life time rules, merge them into a single one. This also greatly simplifies the reference counting rules, as we can use the inode reference count as the main reference count for the new struct block_device, with the device model reference front ending it for device model interaction.

block: switch disk_part_iter_* to use a struct block_device

2020-12-01T21:53:40Z

Switch the partition iter infrastructure to iterate over block_device references instead of hd_struct ones mostly used to get at the block_device. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: remove the partno field from struct hd_struct

block: switch partition lookup to use struct block_device

2020-12-01T21:53:40Z

Use struct block_device to lookup partitions on a disk. This removes all usage of struct hd_struct from the I/O path. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Acked-by: Coly Li [bcache] Acked-by: Chao Yu [f2fs] Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: allocate struct hd_struct as part of struct bdev_inode

2020-12-01T21:53:40Z

Allocate hd_struct together with struct block_device to pre-load the lifetime rule changes in preparation of merging the two structures. Note that part0 was previously embedded into struct gendisk, but is a separate allocation now, and already points to the block_device instead of the hd_struct. The lifetime of struct gendisk is still controlled by the struct device embedded in the part0 hd_struct.
