      block: get rid of blk_integrity_revalidate() · 0873ab02
      Ilya Dryomov authored
      commit 19b7ccf8 upstream.
      
      Commit 25520d55 ("block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk")
      introduced blk_integrity_revalidate(), which seems to assume ownership
      of the stable pages flag and unilaterally clears it if no blk_integrity
      profile is registered:
      
          if (bi->profile)
                  disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities |=
                          BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
          else
                  disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities &=
                          ~BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
      
      It's called from revalidate_disk() and rescan_partitions(), making it
      impossible to enable stable pages for drivers that support partitions
      and don't use blk_integrity: while the call in revalidate_disk() can be
      trivially worked around (see zram, which doesn't support partitions and
      hence gets away with zram_revalidate_disk()), rescan_partitions() can
      be triggered from userspace at any time.  This breaks rbd, where the
      ceph messenger is responsible for generating/verifying CRCs.
      
      Since blk_integrity_{un,}register() "must" be used for (un)registering
      the integrity profile with the block layer, move BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES
      setting there.  This way drivers that call blk_integrity_register() and
      use integrity infrastructure won't interfere with drivers that don't
      but still want stable pages.
