Merge series 'Open block devices as files' of https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240123-vfs-bdev-file-v2-0-adbd023e19cc@kernel.org
Pull block devices as files from Christian Brauner:
This opens block devices as files. Instead of introducing a separate
indirection into bdev_open_by_*() vis struct bdev_handle we can just
make bdev_file_open_by_*() return a struct file. Opening and closing a
block device from setup_bdev_super() and in all other places just
becomes equivalent to opening and closing a file.
This has held up in xfstests and in blktests so far and it seems stable
and clean. The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to
regular files is a win in and of itself imho. Added to that is the
ability to do away with struct bdev_handle completely and make various
low-level helpers private to the block layer.
All places were we currently stash a struct bdev_handle we just stash a
file and use an accessor such as file_bdev() akin to I_BDEV() to get to
the block device.
It's now also possible to use file->f_mapping as a replacement for
bdev->bd_inode->i_mapping and file->f_inode or file->f_mapping->host as
an alternative to bdev->bd_inode allowing us to significantly reduce or
even fully remove bdev->bd_inode in follow-up patches.
In addition, we could get rid of sb->s_bdev and various other places
that stash the block device directly and instead stash the block device
file. Again, this is follow-up work if we want this.
