Merge tag 'vfs-6.9.super' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs

Pull block handle updates from Christian Brauner:
 "Last cycle we changed opening of block devices, and opening a block
  device would return a bdev_handle. This allowed us to implement
  support for restricting and forbidding writes to mounted block
  devices. It was accompanied by converting and adding helpers to
  operate on bdev_handles instead of plain block devices.

  That was already a good step forward but ultimately it isn't necessary
  to have special purpose helpers for opening block devices internally
  that return a bdev_handle.

  Fundamentally, opening a block device internally should just be
  equivalent to opening files. So now all internal opens of block
  devices return files just as a userspace open would. Instead of
  introducing a separate indirection into bdev_open_by_*() via struct
  bdev_handle bdev_file_open_by_*() is made to just return a struct
  file. Opening and closing a block device just becomes equivalent to
  opening and closing a file.

  This all works well because internally we already have a pseudo fs for
  block devices and so opening block devices is simple. There's a few
  places where we needed to be careful such as during boot when the
  kernel is supposed to mount the rootfs directly without init doing it.
  Here we need to take care to ensure that we flush out any asynchronous
  file close. That's what we already do for opening, unpacking, and
  closing the initramfs. So nothing new here.

  The equivalence of opening and closing block devices to regular files
  is a win in and of itself. But it also has various other advantages.
  We can remove struct bdev_handle completely. Various low-level helpers
  are now private to the block layer. Other helpers were simply
  removable completely.

  A follow-up series that is already reviewed build on this and makes it
  possible to remove bdev->bd_inode and allows various clean ups of the
  buffer head code as well. All places where we stashed a bdev_handle
  now just stash a file and use simple accessors to get to the actual
  block device which was already the case for bdev_handle"
