[ Upstream commit b9684a71fca793213378dd410cd11675d973eaa1 ]

Historically we did distinguish between a flag that surpressed partition
scanning, and a combinations of the minors variable and another flag if
any partitions were supported.  This was generally confusing and doesn't
make much sense, but some corner case uses of the loop driver actually
do want to support manually added partitions on a device that does not
actively scan for partitions.  To make things worsee the loop driver
also wants to dynamically toggle the scanning for partitions on a live
gendisk, which makes the disk-&gt;flags updates non-atomic.

Introduce a new GD_SUPPRESS_PART_SCAN bit in disk-&gt;state that disables
just scanning for partitions, and toggle that instead of GENHD_FL_NO_PART
in the loop driver.

Fixes: 1ebe2e5f9d68 ("block: remove GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT")

[ Upstream commit d2c7f56f8b5256d57f9e3fc7794c31361d43bdd9 ]

Ensure that the lo_device which is stored in the gendisk private
data is valid until the gendisk is freed.  Currently the loop driver
uses a lot of effort to make sure a device is not freed when it is
still in use, but to to fix a potential deadlock this will be relaxed
a bit soon.

Support for cryptoloop was deleted in commit 47e9624616c8 ("block:
remove support for cryptoloop and the xor transfer"), making the usage
of loop_info-&gt;lo_encrypt_type obsolete. However, this member was also
removed from the compat_loop_info definition and this breaks userspace
ioctl calls for 32-bit binaries and CONFIG_COMPAT=y.

This patch restores the compat_loop_info-&gt;lo_encrypt_type member and
marks it obsolete as well as in the uapi header definitions.

Fixes: 47e9624616c8 ("block: remove support for cryptoloop and the xor transfer")

sprintf does not know the PAGE_SIZE maximum of the temporary buffer
used for outputting sysfs content and it's possible to overrun the
PAGE_SIZE buffer length.

Use a generic sysfs_emit function that knows the size of the
temporary buffer and ensures that no overrun is done for offset

loop_attr_[offset|sizelimit|autoclear|partscan|dio]_show() callbacks.
