From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> After commit 2736e8eeb0cc ("block: use the holder as indication for exclusive opens"), blkdev_get_by_dev() will warn if holder is NULL and mode contains 'FMODE_EXCL'. holder from blkdev_get_by_dev() from disk_scan_partitions() is always NULL, hence it should not use 'FMODE_EXCL', which is broben by the commit. For consequence, WARN_ON_ONCE() will be triggered from blkdev_get_by_dev() if user scan partitions with device opened exclusively. Fix this problem by removing 'FMODE_EXCL' from disk_scan_partitions(), as it used to be.
