[PATCH v2 1/3] block: provide helpers for reading block count

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Thu Jun 23 2016 - 09:30:03 EST


Several drivers use an expensive do_div() to compute the number
of logical or physical blocks in a blockdev, which can be done
more efficiently using a shift, since the blocksize is always
a power of two number.

Let's introduce bdev_logical_block_count() and bdev_physical_block_count()
helper functions mirroring the bdev_logical_block_size() and
bdev_physical_block_size() interfaces for the block size.
