Hi all,
this series is the first part of cleaning up lifetimes and allocation of
the gendisk and request_queue structure. It adds a new interface to
allocate the disk and queue together for bio based drivers, and a helper
for cleanup/free them when a driver is unloaded or a device is removed.
Together this removes the need to treat the gendisk and request_queue
as separate entities for bio based drivers.

In the short run not much more than superficial cleanups. Eventually
I want bio based drivers to not require a separate request_queue, leaving
that purely as a data structure for blk-mq based drivers. But it will
take a while until we get there, so it should not block any fixes.
For hot unplug handling it might be worth to take a look at nvme, as it
is tested a lot for that case.

In the short run not much more than superficial cleanups. Eventually
I want bio based drivers to not require a separate request_queue, leaving
that purely as a data structure for blk-mq based drivers. But it will
take a while until we get there, so it should not block any fixes.
For hot unplug handling it might be worth to take a look at nvme, as it
is tested a lot for that case.

May I ask what else you have in the pipe for the next steps?
The reason why I ask is that I am looking into some issues related to
lifecycle problems of gendisk/mmc, typically triggered at SD/MMC card

May I ask what else you have in the pipe for the next steps?
The reason why I ask is that I am looking into some issues related to
lifecycle problems of gendisk/mmc, typically triggered at SD/MMC card

Hi all,
this series is the first part of cleaning up lifetimes and allocation of
the gendisk and request_queue structure. It adds a new interface to
allocate the disk and queue together for bio based drivers, and a helper
for cleanup/free them when a driver is unloaded or a device is removed.
Together this removes the need to treat the gendisk and request_queue
as separate entities for bio based drivers.
