Revert "block: don't add or resize partition on the disk with GENHD_FL_NO_PART"

2025-12-06T21:09:33+00:00

This reverts commit 1a721de8489fa559ff4471f73c58bb74ac5580d3. The commit 1a721de8489f ("block: don't add or resize partition on the disk with GENHD_FL_NO_PART") and the commit 7777f47f2ea6 ("block: Move checking GENHD_FL_NO_PART to bdev_add_partition()") used the flag GENHD_FL_NO_PART to prevent the add or resize of partitions in 5.15 stable kernels.But in these 5.15 kernels, this is giving an issue with the following error where the loop driver wants to create a partition when the partscan is disabled on the loop device: dd if=/dev/zero of=loopDisk.dsk bs=1M count=1 seek=10240; losetup -f loopDisk.dsk;parted -s /dev/loop0 -- mklabel gpt mkpart primary 2048s 4096s 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 1048576 bytes (1.0 MB, 1.0 MiB) copied, 0.0016293 s, 644 MB/s "" Error: Partition(s) 1 on /dev/loop0 have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes. "" If the partition scan is not enabled on the loop device, this flag GENHD_FL_NO_PART is getting set and when partition creation is tried, it returns an error EINVAL thereby preventing the creation of partitions. So, there is no such distinction between disabling of partition scan and partition creation. Later in 6.xxx kernels, the commit b9684a71fca7 ("block, loop: support partitions without scanning") a new flag GD_SUPPRESS_PART_SCAN was introduced that just disables the partition scan and uses GENHD_FL_NO_PART only to prevent creating partition scan. So, the partition creationg can proceed with even if partition scan is disabled. As the commit b9684a71fca7 ("block, loop: support partitions without scanning") is not available in 5.15 stable kernel, and since there is no distinction between disabling of "partition scan" and "partition creation", we need to revert the commits 1a721de8489f and 7777f47f2ea6 from 5.15 stable kernel to allow partition creation when partscan is disabled.

block: add check that partition length needs to be aligned with block size

2024-01-25T22:52:48+00:00

commit 6f64f866aa1ae6975c95d805ed51d7e9433a0016 upstream. Before calling add partition or resize partition, there is no check on whether the length is aligned with the logical block size. If the logical block size of the disk is larger than 512 bytes, then the partition size maybe not the multiple of the logical block size, and when the last sector is read, bio_truncate() will adjust the bio size, resulting in an IO error if the size of the read command is smaller than the logical block size.If integrity data is supported, this will also result in a null pointer dereference when calling bio_integrity_free.

To avoid the stale page cache, hold invalidate_lock of the block device file mapping. The stale page cache is observed when blktests test case block/009 is modified to call "blkdiscard -z" command and repeated hundreds of times.
