Without something like bdev_nr_bytes(), this series has 13 of 29 patches actually _adding_ an open-coded calculation: [PATCH 05/29] mtd/block2mtd: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it [PATCH 06/29] nvmet: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it [PATCH 07/29] target/iblock: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it [PATCH 08/29] fs: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it in blkdev_max_block [PATCH 11/29] btrfs: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it [PATCH 16/29] jfs: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it [PATCH 17/29] nfs/blocklayout: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it [PATCH 18/29] nilfs2: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it [PATCH 19/29] ntfs3: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it [PATCH 20/29] pstore/blk: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it [PATCH 21/29] reiserfs: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it [PATCH 22/29] squashfs: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it [PATCH 23/29] block: use bdev_nr_sectors instead of open coding it in blkdev_fallocate I think it's well worth having that helper (or at least leaving these alone). Otherwise, this is a lot of churn without a clear net benefit, IMO. The others look good to me, though! -Kees > > Diffstat: > block/fops.c | 2 +- > drivers/block/drbd/drbd_int.h | 3 +-- > drivers/md/bcache/super.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/bcache/util.h | 4 ---- > drivers/md/bcache/writeback.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/dm-bufio.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/dm-cache-metadata.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/dm-cache-target.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/dm-clone-target.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/dm-dust.c | 5 ++--- > drivers/md/dm-ebs-target.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/dm-era-target.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/dm-exception-store.h | 2 +- > drivers/md/dm-flakey.c | 3 +-- > drivers/md/dm-integrity.c | 6 +++--- > drivers/md/dm-linear.c | 3 +-- > drivers/md/dm-log-writes.c | 4 ++-- > drivers/md/dm-log.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/dm-mpath.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/dm-raid.c | 6 +++--- > drivers/md/dm-switch.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/dm-table.c | 3 +-- > drivers/md/dm-thin-metadata.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/dm-thin.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/dm-verity-target.c | 3 +-- > drivers/md/dm-writecache.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/dm-zoned-target.c | 2 +- > drivers/md/md.c | 26 +++++++++++--------------- > drivers/mtd/devices/block2mtd.c | 5 +++-- > drivers/nvme/target/io-cmd-bdev.c | 4 ++-- > drivers/target/target_core_iblock.c | 5 +++-- > fs/affs/super.c | 2 +- > fs/btrfs/dev-replace.c | 2 +- > fs/btrfs/disk-io.c | 3 ++- > fs/btrfs/ioctl.c | 4 ++-- > fs/btrfs/volumes.c | 7 ++++--- > fs/buffer.c | 4 ++-- > fs/cramfs/inode.c | 2 +- > fs/ext4/super.c | 2 +- > fs/fat/inode.c | 5 +---- > fs/hfs/mdb.c | 2 +- > fs/hfsplus/wrapper.c | 2 +- > fs/jfs/resize.c | 5 ++--- > fs/jfs/super.c | 5 ++--- > fs/nfs/blocklayout/dev.c | 4 ++-- > fs/nilfs2/ioctl.c | 2 +- > fs/nilfs2/super.c | 2 +- > fs/nilfs2/the_nilfs.c | 3 ++- > fs/ntfs/super.c | 8 +++----- > fs/ntfs3/super.c | 3 +-- > fs/pstore/blk.c | 4 ++-- > fs/reiserfs/super.c | 7 ++----- > fs/squashfs/super.c | 5 +++-- > fs/udf/lowlevel.c | 5 ++--- > fs/udf/super.c | 9 +++------ > include/linux/genhd.h | 6 ++++++ > 56 files changed, 100 insertions(+), 117 deletions(-) -- Kees Cook
