From: Chris Chiu <chris.chiu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The GD_NEED_PART_SCAN is set by bdev_check_media_change to initiate a partition scan while removing a block device. It should be cleared after blk_drop_paritions because blk_drop_paritions could return -EBUSY and then the consequence __blkdev_get has no chance to do delete_partition if GD_NEED_PART_SCAN already cleared. It causes some problems on some card readers. Ex. Realtek card reader 0bda:0328 and 0bda:0158. The device node of the partition will not disappear after the memory card removed. Thus the user applications can not update the device mapping correctly.
