From: Christian Brauner <brauner@xxxxxxxxxx> The logic for disk->open_partitions is: blkdev_get_by_*() -> bdev_is_partition() -> blkdev_get_part() -> blkdev_get_whole() // bdev_whole->bd_openers++ -> if (part->bd_openers == 0) disk->open_partitions++ part->bd_openers In other words, when we first claim/open a partition we increment disk->open_partitions and only when all part->bd_openers are closed will disk->open_partitions be zero. That should mean that disk->open_partitions is always > 0 as long as there's anyone that has an open partition. So the check for disk->open_partitions should meand that we can never remove an active partition that has a holder and holder ops set. Assert that in the code. The main disk isn't removed so that check doesn't work for disk->part0 which is what we want. After all we only care about partition not about the main disk.
