From 02e352287a40bd456eb78df705bf888bc3161d3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2011 10:15:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] block: rescan partitions on invalidated devices on -ENOMEDIA too __blkdev_get() doesn't rescan partitions if disk->fops->open() fails, which leads to ghost partition devices lingering after medimum removal is known to both the kernel and userland. The behavior also creates a subtle inconsistency where O_NONBLOCK open, which doesn't fail even if there's no medium, clears the ghots partitions, which is exploited to work around the problem from userland. Fix it by updating __blkdev_get() to issue partition rescan after -ENOMEDIA too.
