If disk have been deleted, we should return fail for ioctl BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION. Otherwise, the directory /sys/class/block may remain invalid symlinks file. The race as following: blkdev_open del_gendisk disk->flags &= ~GENHD_FL_UP; blk_drop_partitions blkpg_ioctl bdev_add_partition add_partition device_add device_add_class_symlinks ioctl may add_partition after del_gendisk() have tried to delete partitions. Then, symlinks file will be created.
