virtio_blk: Add 'serial' attribute to virtio-blk devices (v2)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Create a new attribute for virtio-blk devices that will fetch the serial number
of the block device.  This attribute can be used by udev to create disk/by-id
symlinks for devices that don't have a UUID (filesystem) associated with them.

ATA_IDENTIFY strings are special in that they can be up to 20 chars long
and aren't required to be nul-terminated.  The buffer is also zero-padded
meaning that if the serial is 19 chars or less that we get a nul-terminated
string.  When copying this value into a string buffer, we must be careful to
copy up to the nul (if it present) and only 20 if it is longer and not to
attempt to nul terminate; this isn't needed.

Changes since v1:
- Added BUILD_BUG_ON() for PAGE_SIZE check
- Removed min() since BUILD_BUG_ON() handles the check
- Replaced serial_sysfs() by copying id directly to buffer
