commit 0dbcfe247f22a6d73302dfa691c48b3c14d31c4c upstream.

Invert they way the holder relations are tracked.  This very
slightly reduces the memory overhead for partitioned devices.

This is very different from the upstream version, and forces the change
onto everyone, not just those who had CONFIG_BLOCK_HOLDER_DEPRECATED
enabled like was done in the main kernel tree.

Why force this on all and not just use the same option?

I would need a strong ACK from the original developers and maintainers
of these subsystems before being able to take these into the 5.10 tree.

Yes, I agree that Christoph must take a look first.

What prevents you from just using 5.15 for those systems that run into
these issues?

The null pointer problem is reported by our product(related to dm-
mpath), and they had been using 5.10 for a long time. And switching
kernel for commercial will require lots of work, it's not an option
for now.

It should be the same validation and verification and testing path for
5.15.y as for an intrusive kernel change as this one, right?  What makes
it any different to prevent 5.15 from being used?

No, they are not the same, if we try to use 5.15.y, we have to test all
other stuff that our product is used currently(ext4, block, scsi and
lots of other modules). With this patch, we only need to make sure
dm works fine.

Thanks,
Kuai
