Hi,

Thank you for review and comments.

Added.
I wasn't sure whether I should leave it to drivers.
But it seems capacity 0 for ENOMEDIUM device is reasonable.

invalidate_partitions() is called only when bd_invalidated is set.
So KOBJ_CHANGE is not raised for every ENOMEDIUM open.

I put it explicit in the function to make it safer for
possible misuse.

How about this?

---------------------------------------------------------
Do not call drivers when invalidating partitions for -ENOMEDIUM

When a scsi driver returns -ENOMEDIUM for open(),
__blkdev_get() calls rescan_partitions(), which ends up calling
sd_revalidate_disk() without getting a refcount of scsi_device.

That could lead to oops like this:

  process A                  process B
  ----------------------------------------------
  sys_open
    __blkdev_get
      sd_open
        returns -ENOMEDIUM
                             scsi_remove_device
                               <scsi_device torn down>
      rescan_partitions
        sd_revalidate_disk
          <oops>

Oopses are reported here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=132388619710052

This patch separates the partition invalidation from rescan_partitions()
and use it for -ENOMEDIUM case.
