[PATCH 26/27] block: decouple REQ_OP_SECURE_ERASE from REQ_OP_DISCARD

Secure erase is a very different operation from discard in that it is a data integrity operation vs hint. Fully split the limits and helper infrastructure to make the separation more clear. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Martin K. Petersen Acked-by: Christoph Böhmwalder [drbd]

[PATCH 27/27] direct-io: remove random prefetches

[PATCH 24/27] block: remove QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD

Just use a non-zero max_discard_sectors as an indicator for discard support, similar to what is done for write zeroes. The only places where needs special attention is the RAID5 driver, which must clear discard support for security reasons by default, even if the default stacking rules would

[PATCH 23/27] block: add a bdev_max_discard_sectors helper

Add a helper to query the number of sectors support per each discard bio based on the block device and use this helper to stop various places from poking into the request_queue to see if discard is supported and if so how much. This mirrors what is done e.g. for write zeroes as well.
