block: remove genhd.h

2022-02-02T14:49:59+00:00

There is no good reason to keep genhd.h separate from the main blkdev.h header that includes it. So fold the contents of genhd.h into blkdev.h and remove genhd.h entirely.

block: cleanup the GENHD_FL_* definitions

2021-11-29T13:38:35+00:00

Switch to an enum and tidy up the documentation. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211122130625.1136848-14-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: remove GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT

2021-11-29T13:38:35+00:00

All modern drivers can support extra partitions using the extended dev_t. In fact except for the ioctl method drivers never even see partitions in normal operation. So remove the GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT and allow extra partitions for all block devices that do support partitions, and require those that do not support partitions to explicit disallow them using GENHD_FL_NO_PART.

block: remove GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO

2021-11-29T13:38:35+00:00

This flag is not set directly anywhere and only inherited from GENHD_FL_HIDDEN. Just check for GENHD_FL_HIDDEN instead. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211122130625.1136848-11-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: rename GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN to GENHD_FL_NO_PART

2021-11-29T13:35:21+00:00

The GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN controls more than just partitions canning, so rename it to GENHD_FL_NO_PART. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Ulf Hansson Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211122130625.1136848-7-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: remove GENHD_FL_CD

2021-11-29T13:35:21+00:00

GENHD_FL_CD marks a gendisk as a vaguely CD-ROM like device. Besides being used internally inside of sunvdc.c an xen-blkfront it is used by xen-blkback as a hint to claim a device exported to a guest is a CD-ROM like device. Just check for disk->cdi instead which is the right indicator for "real" CD-ROM or DVD drivers. This will miss the paravirtualized guest drivers, but those make little sense to report anyway.

2021-11-29T13:35:21+00:00

GENHD_FL_BLOCK_EVENTS_ON_EXCL_WRITE is all about the event reporting mechanism, so move it to the event_flags field. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211122130625.1136848-3-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: move GENHD_FL_NATIVE_CAPACITY to disk->state

The flag to indicate an unlocked native capacity is dynamic state, not a driver capability flag, so move it to disk->state. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211122130625.1136848-2-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
