Subject: [PATCH] Backport msdos partition UUIDs
Squashed commit of the following:
commit 2819ae1987539215d1ce91d80d831e0350107e1e

block: partition: msdos: provide UUIDs for partitions
The MSDOS/MBR partition table includes a 32-bit unique ID, often referred
to as the NT disk signature. When combined with a partition number within
the table, this can form a unique ID similar in concept to EFI/GPT's
partition UUID. Constructing and recording this value in struct
partition_meta_info allows MSDOS partitions to be referred to on the
kernel command-line using the following syntax:
root=PARTUUID=0002dd75-01

init: reduce PARTUUID min length to 1 from 36
Reduce the minimum length for a root=PARTUUID= parameter to be considered
valid from 36 to 1. EFI/GPT partition UUIDs are always exactly 36
characters long, hence the previous limit. However, the next patch will
support DOS/MBR UUIDs too, which have a different, shorter, format.
Instead of validating any particular length, just ensure that at least
some non-empty value was given by the user.
Also, consider a missing UUID value to be a parsing error, in the same
vein as if /PARTNROFF exists and can't be parsed. As such, make both
error cases print a message and disable rootwait. Convert to pr_err while
we're at it.

block: store partition_meta_info.uuid as a string
This will allow other types of UUID to be stored here, aside from true
UUIDs. This also simplifies code that uses this field, since it's usually
constructed from a, used as a, or compared to other, strings.
Note: A simplistic approach here would be to set uuid_str[36]=0 whenever a
/PARTNROFF option was found to be present. However, this modifies the
input string, and causes subsequent calls to devt_from_partuuid() not to
see the /PARTNROFF option, which causes different results. In order to
avoid misleading future maintainers, this parameter is marked const.

commit 152f0b9a9d1d0ee8c01eaa1dda689bd5d0f9d512
Author: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>

block: add partition resize function to blkpg ioctl
Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that
allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently
in use.
This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because
One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of
nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This
can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence
counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock
as we call sector_in_part() very frequently.
Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence
counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write.
There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think
theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not
modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites
and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a
TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce
any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity().
v2: Add CONFIG_LBDAF test to UP preempt case as suggested by Phillip.
