Heya, I'm backporting 752863bddaca ("block: propagate partition scanning errors to the BLKRRPART ioctl") to LTS and noticed it conflicts in the blkdev.h header, where in upstream we had already introduced another blk_mode_t for bit 5, and this new STRICT_SCAN uses bit 6... In this scenario, would we prefer keep the bit used consistent (so have a gap with an unused bit 5 - what I would typically go with), or renumber to avoid the gap? In question: /* open for "writes" only for ioctls (specialy hack for floppy.c) */ #define BLK_OPEN_WRITE_IOCTL ((__force blk_mode_t)(1 << 4)) +/* return partition scanning errors */ +#define BLK_OPEN_STRICT_SCAN ((__force blk_mode_t)(1 << 6))
