The only overlap between the block open flags mapped into the fmode_t and
other uses of fmode_t are FMODE_READ and FMODE_WRITE. Define a new
blk_mode_t instead for use in blkdev_get_by_{dev,path}, ->open and
->ioctl and stop abusing fmode_t.

The current interface for exclusive opens is rather confusing as it
requires both the FMODE_EXCL flag and a holder. Remove the need to pass
FMODE_EXCL and just key off the exclusive open off a non-NULL holder.
For blkdev_put this requires adding the holder argument, which provides
better debug checking that only the holder actually releases the hold,
but at the same time allows removing the now superfluous mode argument.

Move capturing the snapshot context into the image request state
machine, after exclusive lock is ensured to be held for the duration of
dealing with the image request. This is needed to ensure correctness
of fast-diff states (OBJECT_EXISTS vs OBJECT_EXISTS_CLEAN) and object
deltas computed based off of them. Otherwise the object map that is
forked for the snapshot isn't guaranteed to accurately reflect the
contents of the snapshot when the snapshot is taken under I/O. This
breaks differential backup and snapshot-based mirroring use cases with
fast-diff enabled: since some object deltas may be incomplete, the
destination image may get corrupted.

Add a new blk_holder_ops structure, which is passed to blkdev_get_by_* and
installed in the block_device for exclusive claims. It will be used to
allow the block layer to call back into the user of the block device for
thing like notification of a removed device or a device resize.

Add control command of UBLK_U_CMD_GET_FEATURES for returning driver's
feature set or capability.
This way can simplify userspace for maintaining compatibility because
userspace doesn't need to send command to one device for querying driver
feature set any more. Such as, with the queried feature set, userspace
can choose to use:
- UBLK_CMD_GET_DEV_INFO2 or UBLK_CMD_GET_DEV_INFO,
- UBLK_U_CMD_* or UBLK_CMD_*

x86/pci/xen: populate MSI sysfs entries
xen/pvcalls-back: fix double frees with pvcalls_new_active_socket()
xen/blkfront: Only check REQ_FUA for writes
The existing code silently converts read operations with the
REQ_FUA bit set into write-barrier operations. This results in data
loss as the backend scribbles zeroes over the data instead of returning
it.
While the REQ_FUA bit doesn't make sense on a read operation, at least
one well-known out-of-tree kernel module does set it and since it
results in data loss, let's be safe here and only look at REQ_FUA for
writes.

Currently copy between io request buffer(pages) and userspace buffer is
done inside ublk_map_io() or ublk_unmap_io(). This way performs very
well in case of pre-allocated userspace io buffer.
For dynamically allocated or external userspace backend io buffer,
UBLK_F_NEED_GET_DATA is added for ublk server to provide buffer by one
extra command communication for WRITE request. For READ, userspace
simply provides buffer, but can't know when the buffer is done[1].
Add UBLK_F_USER_COPY by moving io data copy out of kernel by providing
read()/write() on /dev/ublkcN, and simply let ublk server do the io
data copy. This way makes both side cleaner, the cost is that one extra
syscall for copy io data between request and backend buffer.
With UBLK_F_USER_COPY, it actually becomes possible to run per-io zero
copy now, such as, only do zero copy for big size IO, so it can be
thought as one prep patch for supporting zero copy. Meantime zero copy
still needs to expose read()/write() buffer for some corner case, such
as passthrough IO.

Support pread()/pwrite() on ublk char device for reading/writing request
io buffer, so data copy between io request buffer and userspace buffer
can be moved to ublk server from ublk driver. Then UBLK_F_NEED_GET_DATA
becomes not necessary, so ublk server can allocate buffer without one
extra round uring command communication for userspace to provide buffer.
IO buffer can be located by iocb->ki_pos which encodes buffer offset, io
tag and queue id info, and type of iocb->ki_pos is u64, so it is big
enough for holding reasonable queue depth, nr_queues and max io buffer
size.

Add one reference counter into request pdu data, and hold this reference
in the request's lifetime.
Prepare for supporting to move request data copy into userspace, which
needs to copy request data by read()/write() on /dev/ublkcN, so we have
to guarantee that read()/write() is done on one valid/active request,
and that will be enhanced by holding the io request reference in
read()/write().

task_work_add() is used from early ublk development stage for handling
request in batch. However, since commit 7d4a93176e ("ublk_drv: don't
forward io commands in reserve order"), we can get similar batch
processing with io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task(), and similar performance
data is observed between task_work_add() and
io_uring_cmd_complete_in_task().
Meantime we can kill one fast code path, which is actually seldom used
given it is common to build ublk driver as module.

XArray API also provides array semantics which simplifies the way we store
and access the backing pages, and the code becomes significantly easier
to understand.
No performance difference was noticed between the two implementation
using fio with direct=1 [1].
