[PATCH 2/2] block: fix a race between del_gendisk and BLKRRPART

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Gulam Mohamed <gulam.mohamed@xxxxxxxxxx>

When BLKRRPART is called concurrently with del_gendisk, the partitions
rescan can create a stale partition that will never be be cleaned up.

Fix this by checking the the disk is up before rescanning partitions
while under bd_mutex.
