Hi Allison,

please try this minimal fix.  I need to double check if we historically
returned ENXIO or EINVAL for adding / resizing partitions, which would
make things more complicated.  Or maybe you already have data for that
at hand?

diff --git a/block/ioctl.c b/block/ioctl.c
index 9c73a763ef8838..f2028e39767821 100644
--- a/block/ioctl.c
+++ b/block/ioctl.c
@@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ static int blkpg_do_ioctl(struct block_device *bdev,
  	sector_t start, length;
if (disk->flags & GENHD_FL_NO_PART)
-		return -EINVAL;
+		return -ENXIO;

I think this might not be a proper fix, the reason if that before this
condition is added, -ENXIO is returned from bdev_del_partition(). And
there are also some other error number like -EACCES,-EFAULT following,
so this change will still make changes for user in other cases.

How about following patch?

Thanks,

  	if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN))
