From: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit a41a11b4009580edb6e2b4c76e5e2ee303f87157 upstream. After the rework from commit 1ebe2e5f9d68 ("block: remove GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT"), when calling device_add_disk(), dcssblk will end up in disk_scan_partitions(), and not break out early w/o GENHD_FL_NO_PART. This will trigger implicit open/release via blkdev_get/put_whole() later. dcssblk_release() will then deadlock on dcssblk_devices_sem semaphore, which is already held from dcssblk_add_store() when calling device_add_disk(). dcssblk does not support partitions (DCSSBLK_MINORS_PER_DISK == 1), and never scanned partitions before. Therefore restore the previous behavior, and explicitly disallow partition scanning by setting the GENHD_FL_NO_PART flag. This will also prevent this deadlock scenario.
