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.
