<title>block: Convert bio_for_each_segment() to bvec_iter</title>

<id>urn:sha1:7988613b0e5b2638caf6cd493cc78e9595eba19c</id>
<content type='text'>
More prep work for immutable biovecs - with immutable bvecs drivers
won't be able to use the biovec directly, they'll need to use helpers
that take into account bio-&gt;bi_iter.bi_bvec_done.

This updates callers for the new usage without changing the
implementation yet.

<content type='text'>
Immutable biovecs are going to require an explicit iterator. To
implement immutable bvecs, a later patch is going to add a bi_bvec_done
member to this struct; for now, this patch effectively just renames
things.

<title>loop: fix crash when using unassigned loop device</title>

When the loop module is loaded, it creates 8 loop devices /dev/loop[0-7].
The devices have no request routine and thus, when they are used without
being assigned, a crash happens.

For example, these commands cause crash (assuming there are no used loop
devices):

The probe function is supposed to return NULL on failure (as we can see in
kobj_lookup: kobj = probe(dev, index, data); ... if (kobj) return kobj;

However, in loop and brd, it returns negative error from ERR_PTR.

This causes a crash if we simulate disk allocation failure and run
less -f /dev/loop0 because the negative number is interpreted as a pointer:

loop: fix crash if blk_alloc_queue fails

If blk_alloc_queue fails, loop_add cleans up, but it doesn't clean up the
identifier allocated with idr_alloc. That causes crash on module unload in
idr_for_each(&amp;loop_index_idr, &amp;loop_exit_cb, NULL); where we attempt to
remove non-existed device with that id.
