so that callers can use bd_mutex to stabilize the flag, which removes
the need for the global mutex.

Some block device drivers, e.g. the skd driver, call set_capacity() with
IRQ disabled. This results in lockdep ito complain about inconsistent

because set_capacity takes a block device bd_size_lock using the

block: propagate BLKROSET on the whole device to all partitions

Change the policy so that a BLKROSET on the whole device also affects
partitions. To quote Martin K. Petersen:

It's very common for database folks to twiddle the read-only state of
block devices and partitions. I know that our users will find it very
counter-intuitive that setting /dev/sda read-only won't prevent writes
to /dev/sda1.

The existing behavior is inconsistent in the sense that doing:

# blockdev --setro /dev/sda
# echo foo > /dev/sda1

permits writes. But:

# blockdev --setro /dev/sda
<something triggers revalidate>
# echo foo > /dev/sda1

doesn't.

And a subsequent:

# blockdev --setrw /dev/sda
# echo foo > /dev/sda1

doesn't work either since sda1's read-only policy has been inherited
from the whole-disk device.

You need to do:

# blockdev --rereadpt

after setting the whole-disk device rw to effectuate the same change on
the partitions, otherwise they are stuck being read-only indefinitely.

However, setting the read-only policy on a partition does *not* require
the revalidate step. As a matter of fact, doing the revalidate will blow
away the policy setting you just made.

So the user needs to take different actions depending on whether they
are trying to read-protect a whole-disk device or a partition. Despite
using the same ioctl. That is really confusing.

I have lost count how many times our customers have had data clobbered
because of ambiguity of the existing whole-disk device policy. The
current behavior violates the principle of least surprise by letting the
user think they write protected the whole disk when they actually
didn't.

block: add a hard-readonly flag to struct gendisk

Commit 20bd1d026aac ("scsi: sd: Keep disk read-only when re-reading
partition") addressed a long-standing problem with user read-only
policy being overridden as a result of a device-initiated revalidate.
The commit has since been reverted due to a regression that left some
USB devices read-only indefinitely.

To fix the underlying problems with revalidate we need to keep track
of hardware state and user policy separately.

The gendisk has been updated to reflect the current hardware state set
by the device driver. This is done to allow returning the device to
the hardware state once the user clears the BLKROSET flag.

The resulting semantics are as follows:

- If BLKROSET sets a given partition read-only, that partition will
remain read-only even if the underlying storage stack initiates a
revalidate. However, the BLKRRPART ioctl will cause the partition
table to be dropped and any user policy on partitions will be lost.

- If BLKROSET has not been set, both the whole disk device and any
partitions will reflect the current write-protect state of the
underlying device.

Based on a patch from Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>.
