Without something like bdev_nr_bytes(), this series has 13 of 29 patches
actually _adding_ an open-coded calculation:
[PATCH 05/29] mtd/block2mtd: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it
[PATCH 06/29] nvmet: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it
[PATCH 07/29] target/iblock: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it
[PATCH 08/29] fs: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it in blkdev_max_block
[PATCH 11/29] btrfs: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it
[PATCH 16/29] jfs: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it
[PATCH 17/29] nfs/blocklayout: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it
[PATCH 18/29] nilfs2: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it
[PATCH 19/29] ntfs3: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it
[PATCH 20/29] pstore/blk: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it
[PATCH 21/29] reiserfs: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it
[PATCH 22/29] squashfs: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it
[PATCH 23/29] block: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it in blkdev_fallocate
I think it's well worth having that helper (or at least leaving these
alone). Otherwise, this is a lot of churn without a clear net benefit,
IMO.
The others look good to me, though!
