Ming Lei a40c3c9ae5 block: unhash blkdev part inode when the part is deleted
v5.11 changes the blkdev lookup mechanism completely since commit
22ae8ce8b892 ("block: simplify bdev/disk lookup in blkdev_get"),
and small part of the change is to unhash part bdev inode when
deleting partition. Turns out this kind of change does fix one
nasty issue in case of BLOCK_EXT_MAJOR:

1) when one partition is deleted & closed, disk_put_part() is always
called before bdput(bdev), see blkdev_put(); so the part's devt can
be freed & re-used before the inode is dropped

2) then new partition with same devt can be created just before the
inode in 1) is dropped, then the old inode/bdev structurein 1) is
re-used for this new partition, this way causes use-after-free and
kernel panic.

It isn't possible to backport the whole big patchset of "merge struct
block_device and struct hd_struct v4" for addressing this issue.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-block/20201128161510.347752-1-hch@lst.de/

So fixes it by unhashing part bdev in delete_partition(), and this way
is actually aligned with v5.11+'s behavior.

Backported from the following 5.10.y commit:

5f2f77560591 ("block: unhash blkdev part inode when the part is deleted")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
