<title>block: replace fmode_t with a block-specific type for block open flags</title>

<content type='text'>
The only overlap between the block open flags mapped into the fmode_t and
other uses of fmode_t are FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE.  Define a new
blk_mode_t instead for use in blkdev_get_by_{dev,path}, -&gt;open and
-&gt;ioctl and stop abusing fmode_t.

<title>block: delete partitions later in del_gendisk</title>

<id>urn:sha1:eec1be4c30df73238b936fa9f3653773a6f8b15c</id>
<content type='text'>
Delay dropping the block_devices for partitions in del_gendisk until
after the call to blk_mark_disk_dead, so that we can implementat
notification of removed devices in blk_mark_disk_dead.

This requires splitting a lower-level drop_partition helper out of
delete_partition and using that from del_gendisk, while having a
common loop for the whole device and partitions that calls
remove_inode_hash, fsync_bdev and __invalidate_device before the
call to blk_mark_disk_dead.

flush state machine, return false and let blk_mq_submit_bio handle
it the normal way (including using an I/O scheduler) instead of doing
a bypass insert.

<title>blk-integrity: register sysfs attributes on struct device</title>

<content type='text'>
The "integrity" kobject only acted as a holder for static sysfs entries.
It also was embedded into struct gendisk without managing it, violating
assumptions of the driver core.

Instead register the sysfs entries directly onto the struct device.

Also drop the now unused member integrity_kobj from struct gendisk.

<id>urn:sha1:83794367dcc6749662b17a1e4b8ec085023fc53b</id>
<content type='text'>
The code for setting a block device capacity (bd_nr_sectors field of
struct block_device) is duplicated in set_capacity() and
bdev_set_nr_sectors(). Clean this up by making bdev_set_nr_sectors()
a block layer internal function defined in block/bdev.c instead of
having this function statically defined in block/partitions/core.c.
With this change, set_capacity() implementation can be simplified to
only calling bdev_set_nr_sectors().
