Subject: block: get rid of blk_integrity_revalidate()
From: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 19b7ccf8651df09d274671b53039c672a52ad84d upstream.
Commit 25520d55cdb6 ("block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk")
introduced blk_integrity_revalidate(), which seems to assume ownership
of the stable pages flag and unilaterally clears it if no blk_integrity
profile is registered:
if (bi->profile)
disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities |=
BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
else
disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities &=
~BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
It's called from revalidate_disk() and rescan_partitions(), making it
impossible to enable stable pages for drivers that support partitions
and don't use blk_integrity: while the call in revalidate_disk() can be
trivially worked around (see zram, which doesn't support partitions and
hence gets away with zram_revalidate_disk()), rescan_partitions() can
be triggered from userspace at any time. This breaks rbd, where the
ceph messenger is responsible for generating/verifying CRCs.
Since blk_integrity_{un,}register() "must" be used for (un)registering
the integrity profile with the block layer, move BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES
setting there. This way drivers that call blk_integrity_register() and
use integrity infrastructure won't interfere with drivers that don't
but still want stable pages.
