Hi Guys, The two patches changes block ioctl(BLKRRPART) for avoiding drop & re-add partitions if partitions state isn't changed. The current behavior confuses userspace because partitions can disappear anytime when calling into ioctl(BLKRRPART). V2: - don't save partitions state, and just check if current partition state is changed against partition devices Ming Lei (4): block: define parsed_partitions.flags as 'unsigned char' block: store partition flags into block_device block: re-organize blk_add_partitions block: avoid to drop & re-add partitions if partitions aren't changed block/partitions/check.h | 2 +- block/partitions/core.c | 126 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- fs/block_dev.c | 30 ++++----- include/linux/blk_types.h | 1 + include/linux/genhd.h | 1 + 5 files changed, 132 insertions(+), 28 deletions(-) Cc: Ewan D.
