Multiple changes to the blkdev API were introduced in Linux 6.5. This
includes passing (void* holder) to blkdev_put, adding a new
blk_holder_ops* arg to blkdev_get_by_path, adding a new blk_mode_t type
that replaces uses of fmode_t, and removing an argument from the release
handler on block_device_operations that we weren't using. The open
function definition has also changed to take gendisk* and blk_mode_t, so
update it accordingly, too.
Implement local wrappers for blkdev_get_by_path() and
vdev_blkdev_put() so that the in-line calls are cleaner, and place the
conditionally-compiled implementation details inside of both of these
local wrappers. Both calls are exclusively used within vdev_disk.c, at
this time.
Add blk_mode_is_open_write() to test FMODE_WRITE / BLK_OPEN_WRITE
The wrapper function is now used for testing using the appropriate
method for the kernel, whether the open mode is writable or not.
Emphasize fmode_t arg in zvol_release is not used

Linux kernel commit 0f00b82e5413571ed225ddbccad6882d7ea60bc7 removes the
revalidate_disk() handler from struct block_device_operations. This
caused a regression, and this commit eliminates the call to it and the
assignment in the block_device_operations static handler assignment
code, when configure identifies that the kernel doesn't support that
API handler.

Increase the minimum supported kernel version from 2.6.32 to 3.10.
This removes support for the following Linux enterprise distributions.
Distribution | Kernel | End of Life
---------------- | ------ | -------------
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 3.2 | Apr 28, 2017
SLES 11 | 3.0 | Mar 32, 2019
RHEL / CentOS 6 | 2.6.32 | Nov 30, 2020
The following changes were made as part of removing support.
* Updated `configure` to enforce a minimum kernel version as
specified in the META file (Linux-Minimum: 3.10).
configure: error:
*** Cannot build against kernel version 2.6.32.
*** The minimum supported kernel version is 3.10.
* Removed all `configure` kABI checks and matching C code for
interfaces which solely predate the Linux 3.10 kernel.
* Updated all `configure` kABI checks to fail when an interface is
missing which was in the 3.10 kernel up to the latest 5.1 kernel.
Removed the HAVE_* preprocessor defines for these checks and
updated the code to unconditionally use the verified interface.
* Inverted the detection logic in several kABI checks to match
the new interface as it appears in 3.10 and newer and not the
legacy interface.
* Consolidated the following checks in to individual files. Due
the large number of changes in the checks it made sense to handle
this now. It would be desirable to group other related checks in
the same fashion, but this as left as future work.
- config/kernel-blkdev.m4 - Block device kABI checks
- config/kernel-blk-queue.m4 - Block queue kABI checks
- config/kernel-bio.m4 - Bio interface kABI checks
* Removed the kABI checks for sops->nr_cached_objects() and
sops->free_cached_objects(). These interfaces are currently unused.

Reduce the time required for ./configure to perform the needed
KABI checks by allowing kbuild to compile multiple test cases in
parallel. This was accomplished by splitting each test's source
code from the logic handling whether that code could be compiled
or not.
By introducing this split it's possible to minimize the number of
times kbuild needs to be invoked. As importantly, it means all of
the tests can be built in parallel. This does require a little extra
care since we expect some tests to fail, so the --keep-going (-k)
option must be provided otherwise some tests may not get compiled.
Furthermore, since a failure during the kbuild modpost phase will
result in an early exit; the final linking phase is limited to tests
which passed the initial compilation and produced an object file.
Once everything has been built the configure script proceeds as
previously. The only significant difference is that it now merely
needs to test for the existence of a .ko file to determine the
result of a given test. This vastly speeds up the entire process.
New test cases should use ZFS_LINUX_TEST_SRC to declare their test
source code and ZFS_LINUX_TEST_RESULT to check the result. All of
the existing kernel-*.m4 files have been updated accordingly, see
config/kernel-current-time.m4 for a basic example. The legacy
ZFS_LINUX_TRY_COMPILE macro has been kept to handle special cases
but it's use is not encouraged.

Added support for the bops->check_events() interface which was
added in the 2.6.38 kernel to replace bops->media_changed().
Fully implementing this functionality allows the volume resize
code to rely on revalidate_disk(), which is the preferred
mechanism, and removes the need to use check_disk_size_change().
In order for bops->check_events() to lookup the zvol_state_t
stored in the disk->private_data the zvol_state_lock needs to
be held. Since the check events interface may poll the mutex
has been converted to a rwlock for better concurrently. The
rwlock need only be taken as a writer in the zvol_free() path
when disk->private_data is set to NULL.
The configure checks for the block_device_operations structure
were consolidated in a single kernel-block-device-operations.m4
file.
The ZFS_AC_KERNEL_BDEV_BLOCK_DEVICE_OPERATIONS configure checks
and assoicated dead code was removed. This interface was added
to the 2.6.28 kernel which predates the oldest supported 2.6.32
kernel and will therefore always be available.
Updated maximum Linux version in META file. The 4.17 kernel
was released on 2018-06-03 and ZoL is compatible with the
finalized kernel.
