Please explain in the patch description why a holder pointer is introduced
in struct bdev_handle and how it relates to the bd_holder pointer in struct
block_device. Is one of the purposes of this patch series perhaps to add
support for multiple holders per block device?
That is all in patch 0/32. Why repeat it?
This cover letter: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20230629165206.383-1-jack@xxxxxxx/T/#t?
The word "holder" doesn't even occur in that cover letter so how could the
answer to my question be present in the cover letter?
Bart.
