From f3a608827d1f8de0dd12813e8d9c6803fe64e119 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Brauner Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2024 18:47:35 +0100 Subject: bdev: open block device as files Add two new helpers to allow opening block devices as files. This is not the final infrastructure. This still opens the block device before opening a struct a file. Until we have removed all references to struct bdev_handle we can't switch the order: * Introduce blk_to_file_flags() to translate from block specific to flags usable to pen a new file. * Introduce bdev_file_open_by_{dev,path}(). * Introduce temporary sb_bdev_handle() helper to retrieve a struct bdev_handle from a block device file and update places that directly reference struct bdev_handle to rely on it. * Don't count block device openes against the number of open files. A bdev_file_open_by_{dev,path}() file is never installed into any file descriptor table. One idea that came to mind was to use kernel_tmpfile_open() which would require us to pass a path and it would then call do_dentry_open() going through the regular fops->open::blkdev_open() path. But then we're back to the problem of routing block specific flags such as BLK_OPEN_RESTRICT_WRITES through the open path and would have to waste FMODE_* flags every time we add a new one. With this we can avoid using a flag bit and we have more leeway in how we open block devices from bdev_open_by_{dev,path}().
