This allows LEDs to be controlled by block device activity.

We already have ledtrig-disk (LED disk activity trigger), but the lower
level disk drivers need to utilize ledtrig_disk_activity() to make the
LED blink.

The LED block device trigger doesn't require the lower level drivers to
have any instrumentation. The activity is collected by polling the disk
stats.

Example:

echo block-nvme0n1 > /sys/class/leds/diy/trigger

The LED block device activity trigger periodically polls the disk stats
to collect the activity.  However, it is pointless to poll while the
block device is in quiescent state.  So there is an optional interface to
stop and restart polling disk stats for the lower-level block drivers.

Lets use one trigger "block" and have the device as a parameter,
please.

We already have 1000 cpu triggers on 1000 cpu machines, and yes, its a
disaster we'll need to fix. Lets not repeat the same mistake here.

I guess it may be slightly more work. Sorry about that.

Is the empty struct neccessary?

Normally we put such empty functions on single lines...

We should be able to list available block devices to set,
so the problem would be not avoided anyway. And Greg already proposed
a solution for trigger file PAGE_SIZE overflow, so this should not pose
a big problem in the future once that is implemented.

Yeah, I didn't like that too and tried to play with the code to turn
it into a pointer but it turned out to be non-trivial.

The thing is that struct ledtrig_blk is made a property of
struct gendisk, which then allows to get a pointer to the struct gendisk
of the registrar in ledtrig_blk_work() via container_of macro.

Initially I did not realize the problem and asked Akinobu to move the
trigger implementation to the LED subsystem since it seems to have
likely broad use and it would be good to have it visible in the LED
triggers config menu.

That move unfortunately entails the cumbersome dependency we're
discussing now. It's to be decided then if it wouldn't be cleaner
to have that trigger entirely implemented on gendisk side.

Should we? We need to list triggers, but we may not list all the devices...

Which still leaves us with pretty big/ugly triggers file... and we do
not have the fix in the tree yet.

This is similar to usbport trigger that lists available
ports as files in a sub-directory. We might eventually go
in this direction.

Still, we have that interface and must keep it. It implies the fix
will need to be applied anyway.

I must withdraw this statement. This is not similar to usbport
trigger. The difference is that with ledtrig-block we have separate
triggers per each device and I am not aware if there is some centralized
mechanism similar to blocking_notifier_chain (usb_notifier_list
in drivers/usb/core/notify.c) available for block devices, that
would allow to gather all available block devs under common trigger.

Moreover I remember Greg once discouraged using notifier chains
as they are unsafe, so we would need some other solution anyway.

I start thinking that we should implement the LED block device activity
trigger in userspace.  The userspace application firstly activates
one-shot LED trigger and periodically reads /sys/block/<disk>/stat and
writes /sys/class/leds/<led>/shot if there is any disk activity.

This would suboptimal solution. I have another idea - let's get back
to the implementation of ledtrig-blk in genhd.c. We would be registering
one trigger on module initialization in a function with __init modifier.
Then we would need to add/remove triggers to the ledtrig-blk in
register_blkdev()/unregister_blkdev(). And registered triggers would
be listed in block_devs directory created by the trigger.

You can compare how drivers/usb/core/ledtrig-usbport.c maintains
similar directory of usb ports.

It could be possible, but I have yet another idea.  What about introducing
/proc/led-triggers and /sys/class/leds/<led>/current-trigger?
The /sys/class/leds/<led>/trigger will be obsoleted by these two files.

The /proc/led-triggers is read only and no PAGE_SIZE limitation by the
seq_file interface.  So we can list all triggers in this file.

The /sys/class/leds/<led>/current-trigger is almost identical to
/sys/class/leds/<led>/trigger.  The only difference is that
'current-trigger' only shows the current trigger name.

There's not need to come up with yet another trigger interface.
We just need to convert sysfs trigger attribute type to binary.
