block: simplify disk shutdown

Set the queue dying flag and call blk_mq_exit_queue from del_gendisk for
all disks that do not have separately allocated queues, and thus remove
the need to call blk_cleanup_queue for them.

Rename blk_cleanup_disk to blk_mq_destroy_queue to make it clear that
this function is intended only for separately allocated blk-mq queues.

This saves an extra queue freeze for devices without a separately
allocated queue.

block, loop: support partitions without scanning

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->flags updates non-atomic.

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

VFS: add FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT file flag

Currently various places test if direct IO is possible on a file by
checking for the existence of the direct_IO address space operation.
This is a poor choice, as the direct_IO operation may not be used - it is
only used if the generic_file_*_iter functions are called for direct IO
and some filesystems - particularly NFS - don't do this.

Instead, introduce a new f_mode flag: FMODE_CAN_ODIRECT and change the
various places to check this (avoiding pointer dereferences).
do_dentry_open() will set this flag if ->direct_IO is present, so
filesystems do not need to be changed.

NFS *is* changed, to set the flag explicitly and discard the direct_IO
entry in the address_space_operations for files.

Other filesystems which currently use noop_direct_IO could usefully be
changed to set this flag instead.

lo_refcount counts how many openers a loop device has, but that count
is already provided by the block layer in the bd_openers field of the
whole-disk block_device. Remove lo_refcount and allow opens to
succeed even on devices beeing deleted - now that ->free_disk is
implemented we can handle that race gracefull and all I/O on it will
just fail. Similarly there is a small race window now where
loop_control_remove does not synchronize the delete vs the remove
due do bd_openers not being under lo_mutex protection, but we can
handle that just as gracefully.

loop: avoid loop_validate_mutex/lo_mutex in ->release

Since ->release is called with disk->open_mutex held, and __loop_clr_fd()
from lo_release() is called via ->release when disk_openers() == 0, we are
guaranteed that "struct file" which will be passed to loop_validate_file()
via fget() cannot be the loop device __loop_clr_fd(lo, true) will clear.
Thus, there is no need to hold loop_validate_mutex from __loop_clr_fd()
if release == true.

When I made commit 3ce6e1f662a91097 ("loop: reintroduce global lock for
safe loop_validate_file() traversal"), I wrote "It is acceptable for
loop_validate_file() to succeed, for actual clear operation has not started
yet.". But now I came to feel why it is acceptable to succeed.

It seems that the loop driver was added in Linux 1.3.68, and

if (lo->lo_refcnt > 1)
return -EBUSY;

check in loop_clr_fd() was there from the beginning. The intent of this
check was unclear. But now I think that current

disk_openers(lo->lo_disk) > 1

form is there for three reasons.

(1) Avoid I/O errors when some process which opens and reads from this
loop device in response to uevent notification (e.g. systemd-udevd),
as described in commit a1ecac3b0656a682 ("loop: Make explicit loop
device destruction lazy"). This opener is short-lived because it is
likely that the file descriptor used by that process is closed soon.

(2) Avoid I/O errors caused by underlying layer of stacked loop devices
(i.e. ioctl(some_loop_fd, LOOP_SET_FD, other_loop_fd)) being suddenly
disappeared. This opener is long-lived because this reference is
associated with not a file descriptor but lo->lo_backing_file.

(3) Avoid I/O errors caused by underlying layer of mounted loop device
(i.e. mount(some_loop_device, some_mount_point)) being suddenly
disappeared. This opener is long-lived because this reference is
associated with not a file descriptor but mount.

While race in (1) might be acceptable, (2) and (3) should be checked
racelessly. That is, make sure that __loop_clr_fd() will not run if
loop_validate_file() succeeds, by doing refcount check with global lock
held when explicit loop device destruction is requested.

As a result of no longer waiting for lo->lo_mutex after setting Lo_rundown,
we can remove pointless BUG_ON(lo->lo_state != Lo_rundown) check.

loop: suppress uevents while reconfiguring the device

Currently, udev change event is generated for a loop device before the
device is ready for IO. Due to serialization on lo->lo_mutex in
lo_open() this does not matter because anybody is able to open the
device and do IO only after the configuration is finished. However this
synchronization in lo_open() is going away so make sure userspace
reacting to the change event will see the new device state by generating
the event only when the device is setup.
