[PATCH v3 0/5] Use the normal block device I/O path

[Kees Cook]

Hi,

This fixes up pstore/blk to avoid touching block internals, and includes
additional fixes and clean-ups.

-Kees

v3:
- split verify_size move into a separate patch
- several changes suggested by hch from the v2 thread
- add reviewed-bys
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210615212121.1200820-1-keescook@chromium.org
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210614200421.2702002-1-keescook@chromium.org

Kees Cook (5):
  pstore/blk: Improve failure reporting
  pstore/blk: Move verify_size() macro out of function
  pstore/blk: Use the normal block device I/O path
  pstore/blk: Fix kerndoc and redundancy on blkdev param
  pstore/blk: Include zone in pstore_device_info

[PATCH v3 1/5] pstore/blk: Improve failure reporting

[Kees Cook]

There was no feedback on bad registration attempts. Add details on the
failure cause.

[PATCH v3 2/5] pstore/blk: Move verify_size() macro out of function

[Kees Cook]

There's no good reason for the verify_size macro to live inside the
function. Move it up with the check_size() macro and fix indenting.

[PATCH v3 3/5] pstore/blk: Use the normal block device I/O path

[Kees Cook]

Stop poking into block layer internals and just open the block device
file an use kernel_read and kernel_write on it. Note that this means
the transformation from name_to_dev_t can't be used anymore when
pstore_blk is loaded as a module: a full filesystem device path name
must be used instead. Additionally removes ":internal:" kerndoc link,
since no such documentation remains.

[PATCH v3 5/5] pstore/blk: Include zone in pstore_device_info

[Kees Cook]

Information was redundant between struct pstore_zone_info and struct
pstore_device_info. Use struct pstore_zone_info, with member name "zone".

Additionally untangle the logic for the "best effort" block device
instance.

Our normal macro style would be to move the opening brace onto a separate
line, just like we do for functions.

With that fixed:

I'd still prefer to kill off struct pstore_device_info, but this is
already a huge improvement:
