We just need to use the holder to indicate whether a block device open was exclusive or not. We did use to do that before but had to give that up once we switched to struct bdev_handle. Before struct bdev_handle we only stashed stuff in file->private_data if this was an exclusive open but after struct bdev_handle we always set file->private_data to a struct bdev_handle and so we had to use bdev_handle->mode or bdev_handle->holder. Now that we don't use struct bdev_handle anymore we can revert back to the old behavior.

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.
