__register_blkdev() is used to register a probe callback, and
that callback is typically used to call add_disk(). Now that
we are able to capture errors for add_disk(), we need to fix
those probe calls where add_disk() fails and clean up resources.
We don't extend the probe call to return the error given:
1) we'd have to always special-case the case where the disk
was already present, as otherwise concurrent requests to
open an existing block device would fail, and this would be
a userspace visible change
2) the error from ilookup() on blkdev_get_no_open() is sufficient
3) The only thing the probe call is used for is to support
pre-devtmpfs, pre-udev semantics that want to create disks when
their pre-created device node is accessed, and so we don't care
for failures on probe there.
Expand documentation for the probe callback to ensure users cleanup
resources if add_disk() is used and to clarify this interface may be
removed in the future.

Before removing disk from sysfs, userspace still may change queue via
sysfs, such as switching elevator or setting wbt latency, both may
reinitialize wbt, then the warning in blk_free_queue_stats() will be
triggered since rq_qos_exit() is moved to del_gendisk().
Fixes the issue by moving draining queue & tearing down after disk is
removed from sysfs, at that time no one can come into queue's
store()/show().

Instead of delaying draining of file system I/O related items like the
blk-qos queues, the integrity read workqueue and timeouts only when the

important for SCSI where the upper level drivers that control the gendisk
are separate entities, and the disk can be freed much earlier than the
request_queue, or can even be unbound without tearing down the queue.

recent change to move the bdi from the request_queue to the gendisk
this causes a guaranteed use after free when using certain cgroup
configurations. The big itself is older through as any non-default
inode reference (e.g. an open file descriptor) could have injected
this use after free even before that.

device mapper needs to register holders before it is ready to do I/O.
Currently it does so by registering the disk early, which can leave
the disk and queue in a weird half state where the queue is registered
with the disk, except for sysfs and the elevator. And this state has
been a bit promlematic before, and will get more so when sorting out
the responsibilities between the queue and the disk.
Support registering holders on an initialized but not registered disk
instead by delaying the sysfs registration until the disk is registered.

Associating uevents with block devices in userspace is difficult and racy:
the uevent netlink socket is lossy, and on slow and overloaded systems
has a very high latency.
Block devices do not have exclusive owners in userspace, any process can
set one up (e.g. loop devices). Moreover, device names can be reused
(e.g. loop0 can be reused again and again). A userspace process setting
up a block device and watching for its events cannot thus reliably tell
whether an event relates to the device it just set up or another earlier
instance with the same name.
Being able to set a UUID on a loop device would solve the race conditions.
But it does not allow to derive orderings from uevents: if you see a
uevent with a UUID that does not match the device you are waiting for,
you cannot tell whether it's because the right uevent has not arrived yet,
or it was already sent and you missed it. So you cannot tell whether you
should wait for it or not.
Associating a unique, monotonically increasing sequential number to the
lifetime of each block device, which can be retrieved with an ioctl
immediately upon setting it up, allows to solve the race conditions with
uevents, and also allows userspace processes to know whether they should
wait for the uevent they need or if it was dropped and thus they should
move on.
Additionally, increment the disk sequence number when the media change,
i.e. on DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE event.
