Instances are happier that way and it makes more sense anyway -
the only part of the result that is related to partition we are given
is the start sector, and that has been filled in by the caller.

Everything else is a function of the disk.  Only one instance
(DASD) is ever looking at anything other than bdev-&gt;bd_disk and
that one is trivial to adjust.

<content type='text'>
BLK_MQ_F_SHOULD_MERGE is set for all tag_sets except those that purely
process passthrough commands (bsg-lib, ufs tmf, various nvme admin
queues) and thus don't even check the flag.  Remove it to simplify the
driver interface.

<title>block: move the nonrot flag to queue_limits</title>

<content type='text'>
Move the nonrot flag into the queue_limits feature field so that it can
be set atomically with the queue frozen.

Use the chance to switch to defaulting to non-rotational and require
the driver to opt into rotational, which matches the polarity of the
sysfs interface.

For the z2ram, ps3vram, 2x memstick, ubiblock and dcssblk the new
rotational flag is not set as they clearly are not rotational despite
this being a behavior change.  There are some other drivers that
unconditionally set the rotational flag to keep the existing behavior
as they arguably can be used on rotational devices even if that is
probably not their main use today (e.g. virtio_blk and drbd).

The flag is automatically inherited in blk_stack_limits matching the
existing behavior in dm and md.

will allow allocating queues with valid queue limits instead of setting
the values one at a time later.

<title>aoe: avoid potential deadlock at set_capacity</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e169bd4fb2b36c4b2bee63c35c740c85daeb2e86</id>
<content type='text'>
Move set_capacity() outside of the section procected by (&amp;d-&gt;lock).
To avoid possible interrupt unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
[1] lock(&amp;bdev-&gt;bd_size_lock);
                                local_irq_disable();
                            [2] lock(&amp;d-&gt;lock);
                            [3] lock(&amp;bdev-&gt;bd_size_lock);
   &lt;Interrupt&gt;
[4]  lock(&amp;d-&gt;lock);

  *** DEADLOCK ***

Where [1](&amp;bdev-&gt;bd_size_lock) hold by zram_add()-&gt;set_capacity().
[2]lock(&amp;d-&gt;lock) hold by aoeblk_gdalloc(). And aoeblk_gdalloc()
is trying to acquire [3](&amp;bdev-&gt;bd_size_lock) at set_capacity() call.
In this situation an attempt to acquire [4]lock(&amp;d-&gt;lock) from
aoecmd_cfg_rsp() will lead to deadlock.

So the simplest solution is breaking lock dependency
[2](&amp;d-&gt;lock) -&gt; [3](&amp;bdev-&gt;bd_size_lock) by moving set_capacity()
outside.

BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS despite the confusing name is the default cap for
the max_sectors limits.  Don't use it to initialize max_hw_setors, which
is a hardware / driver capacility.

<content type='text'>
The only overlap between the block open flags mapped into the fmode_t and
other uses of fmode_t are FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE.  Define a new
blk_mode_t instead for use in blkdev_get_by_{dev,path}, -&gt;open and
-&gt;ioctl and stop abusing fmode_t.
