Hi Jens,
this series resurrects a patch from Martin to properly split the flag
indicating a disk has been set read-only by the hardware vs the userspace
policy set through the BLKROSET ioctl.
Note that the last patch only applies to for-next and not to
for-5.11/block. I can hold it back for the first NVMe pull request after
Linus pulled the block tree.
A git tree is available here:
git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/block.git block-hard-ro
Gitweb:

Changes since v2:
- fix a few typos
- add a patch to propagate the read-only status from the whole device to
partitions
- add a patch to remove a pointless check from bdev_read_only
Changes since v1:
- don't propagate the policy flag from the whole disk to partitions
- rebased on top of the merge block_device and hd_struct series
