Thank you for the series! Have you already had a chance to push an updated version of it? I tried to search LKML, but didn't find anything. Or did you decide to put it off until later?So there is preliminary series sitting in VFS tree that changes how block devices are open. There are some conflicts with btrfs tree and bcachefs merge that complicate all this (plus there was quite some churn in VFS itself due to changing rules how block devices are open) so I didn't push out the series that actually forbids opening of mounted block devices because that would cause a "merge from hell" issues. I plan to push out the remaining patches once the merge window closes and all the dependencies are hopefully in a stable state. Maybe I can push out the series earlier based on linux-next so that people can have a look at the current state.
So patches are now in VFS tree [1] so they should be in linux-next as well. You should be able to start using the config option for syzbot runs :) Honza [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs.git/log/?h=vfs.super -- Jan Kara [off-list ref] SUSE Labs, CR
