*	block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index	Christoph Hellwig	2017-08-23	1	-1/+1
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

*	block: switch bios to blk_status_t	Christoph Hellwig	2017-06-09	1	-1/+1
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion. Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which we'll have to keep arround at least for now and thus propagate to a proper blk_status_t value.

*	fscrypt: factor out bio specific functions	Richard Weinberger	2017-01-01	1	-0/+145
	That way we can get rid of the direct dependency on CONFIG_BLOCK.
