[PATCH 12/12] block: add special APIs for run-time disabling of discard and friends

Tue May 28 22:04:14 PDT 2024


A few drivers optimistically try to support discard, write zeroes and
secure erase and disable the features from the I/O completion handler
if the hardware can't support them.  This disable can't be done using
the atomic queue limits API because the I/O completion handlers can't
take sleeping locks or freezer the queue.  Keep the existing clearing
of the relevant field to zero, but replace the old blk_queue_max_*
APIs with new disable APIs that force the value to 0.
