Convert bcache to use bdev_open_by_path() and pass the handle around.

Fwiw, these conversions confused me a little as the old check gave the
impression that this could be set to an error pointer somehow.

I really do like this series especially struct bdev_handle and moving
the mode bits in there. I'll happily take this. So far there have only
been minor things that can easily be fixed.

Thanks. Since Al is fine with just doing a potential conversion to 'struct
file' as a handle on top of this series (it will be dumb Coccinelle
replacement) I think we can go ahead with the series as is. As you said
there will be some conflicts in btrfs and I've learned about f2fs conflicts
as well so I can rebase & repost the series on top of rc1 to make life
easier for you.

Hello,
this is a v3 of the patch series which implements the idea of blkdev_get_by_*()
calls returning bdev_handle which is then passed to blkdev_put() [1]. This
makes the get and put calls for bdevs more obviously matching and allows us to
propagate context from get to put without having to modify all the users
(again!). In particular I need to propagate used open flags to blkdev_put() to
be able count writeable opens and add support for blocking writes to mounted
block devices. I'll send that series separately.
The series is based on Btrfs tree's for-next branch [2] as of today as the
series depends on Christoph's changes to btrfs device handling. Patches have
passed some reasonable testing - I've tested block changes, md, dm, bcache,
xfs, btrfs, ext4, swap. More testing or review is always welcome. Thanks! I've
pushed out the full branch to:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs.git bdev_handle
to ease review / testing. Christian, can you pull the patches to your tree
to get some exposure in linux-next as well? Thanks!
Changes since v3:
* Rebased on top on btrfs tree
Changes since v2:
* Rebased on top of current vfs tree
* Added some acks
* Reflected minor nits from Christoph
* Added missing conversion of blkdev_put() calls in cramfs and erofs
* Fixed possible leak of bdev handle in xfs if logdev is the same as fs dev
Changes since v1:
* Rebased on top of current vfs tree
* Renamed final functions to bdev_open_by_*() and bdev_release()
* Fixed detection of exclusive open in blkdev_ioctl() and blkdev_fallocate()
* Fixed swap conversion to properly reinitialize swap_info->bdev_handle
* Fixed xfs conversion to not oops with rtdev without logdev
* Couple other minor fixups

Yep. So I did it slighly differently. I pulled in the btrfs prereqs and
then applied your series on top of it so we get all the Link: tags right.
I'm running tests right now. Please double-check.

Applied to the vfs.super branch of the vfs/vfs.git tree.
Patches in the vfs.super branch should appear in linux-next soon.
Please report any outstanding bugs that were missed during review in a
new review to the original patch series allowing us to drop it.
It's encouraged to provide Acked-bys and Reviewed-bys even though the
patch has now been applied. If possible patch trailers will be updated.
Note that commit hashes shown below are subject to change due to rebase,
trailer updates or similar. If in doubt, please check the listed branch.

Thanks for picking patches up! I've checked the branch and it looks good to
me.

It looks like you've handled most if not all of the `block_device *bdev`
refactor. Can we drop `block_device *bdev` and fixup any remaining
references? More below.

bdev_release does not reset dc->bdev, which could leave a hanging
reference.

If I understand correctly, this patch duplicates the dc->bdev reference to
exist as dc->bdev_handle->bdev _and_ dc->bdev. (Same for changes related
to `struct cache`.)
This would mean future developers have to understand they are the same
thing, and someone may not manage it correctly.
If block core is moving to `struct bdev_handle`, then can we drop
`dc->bdev` and replace all occurances of `dc->bdev` with
`bdev_handle->bdev`? Or make an accessor macro/function like
bdev_handle_get_bdev(dc->bdev_handle)?
Unless I misunderstand something here, I would NACK this as written
because it increases the liklihood of future developer error.
I've added a few other comments below, but my comments are not exhaustive:

Well, we could but it's a lot of churn - like 53 dereferences in bcache.
So if bcache maintainer wants to go this way, sure we can do it. But
preferably as a separate cleanup patch on top of this series because the
series generates enough conflicts as is and this will make it considerably
worse.

So after this, dc->bdev may reference freed block device that is true. But
the original code did not cleanup dc->bdev either so things just stay as
they were.

Well, dc->bdev isn't a reference anymore, just a shortcut so that people
don't have to write the long dc->bdev_handle->bdev (plus it limits the
churn this series generates as I've mentioned above). I can see why some
people needn't like this duplication so sure we can clean it up if that's
the concensus of bcache developers.

Accessor is making things even longer and I don't see the benefit. So I'd
just go with dc->bdev_handle->bdev.

Well, same comment as with dc->bdev - the old code didn't cleanup the
pointer either. Furthermore the structure is kfree()d in the line below so
there is really no point in zeroing the pointer.

So ca->bdev doesn't really need to be cleaned up here and the original code
wasn't cleaning it up either. So I don't see a problem here either... But
maybe I miss something.

A separate cleanup patch seems reasonable, I'll defer to Coly on this one
since he's the maintainer. I just wanted to point out the possible issue.
Thanks for your work on this.
