block: get rid of blk_integrity_revalidate()
commit 19b7ccf8651df09d274671b53039c672a52ad84d upstream. Commit 25520d55cdb6 ("block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk") introduced blk_integrity_revalidate(), which seems to assume ownership of the stable pages flag and unilaterally clears it if no blk_integrity profile is registered: if (bi->profile) disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities |= BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES; else disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities &= ~BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES; It's called from revalidate_disk() and rescan_partitions(), making it impossible to enable stable pages for drivers that support partitions and don't use blk_integrity: while the call in revalidate_disk() can be trivially worked around (see zram, which doesn't support partitions and hence gets away with zram_revalidate_disk()), rescan_partitions() can be triggered from userspace at any time. This breaks rbd, where the ceph messenger is responsible for generating/verifying CRCs. Since blk_integrity_{un,}register() "must" be used for (un)registering the integrity profile with the block layer, move BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES setting there. This way drivers that call blk_integrity_register() and use integrity infrastructure won't interfere with drivers that don't but still want stable pages.
