This should be fixed properly by: "block: check disk exist before trying to add partition"
Hi Christoph, thanks a lot for suggesting this fix. I have been working on implementing this and have tried the following: - I checked if the the kobject of device structure embedded in gendisk structure is not NULL, to add the partition. This didn't work. - Then I checked the if kobject of the block_device struct (part0) embedded in the gendisk struct is not NULL, to add the partition. This also didn't work. - Then I checked the i_state of the bd_inode field of block_device struct embedded in the gendisk struct. I checked if the I_FREEING or I_WILL_FREE fields are not set. The reason behind doing this was to confirm that we only create partition on the disks which are not being freed. Am I going in the right direction? Can you point me to the correct direction if I am not? thanks -- Rajat
