Hello,
This patchset contains the following five patches containing misc
fixes and improvements.
0001-block-fix-partition-info-printouts.patch
0002-block-don-t-grab-block_class_lock-unnecessarily.patch
0003-block-use-class_dev_iterator-instead-of-class_for_e.patch
0004-block-allow-deleting-zero-length-partition.patch
0005-block-update-add_partition-error-handling.patch
Recent block_class iteration updates 5c6f35c5..27f3025 introduced a
few bugs and trivial user visible behavior change. 0001-0003 update
those issues and simplify related code using new class iterator.
0004 fixes deletion of zero sized partitions.
d805dda4 tried to fix error handling path in add_partition() but had a
few problems. 0005 fixes those and moves busy partition check into
add_partition().
This patchset is against
blk-for-2.6.28 (9abd7c437c02e7448fb1d2d3cfc0b9c1ab77cf2d)

delete_partition() was noop for zero length partition. As the
addition code allows creating zero lenght partition and deletion is
assumed to always succeed, this causes memory leak for zero length
partitions. Allow zero length partitions to end their meaningless
lives.
While at it, allow deleting zero lenght partition via
BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION ioctl too.

1.5.4.5
Recent block_class iteration updates 5c6f35c5..27f3025 converted all
class device iteration to class_for_each_device() and
class_find_device(), which are correct but pain in the ass to use.
This pach converts them to newly introduced class_dev_iterator so that
they can use more natural control structures instead of separate
callbacks and struct to pass parameters to them.
This results in smaller and easier code.
This patch also restores the original behavior of not printing header
in /proc/partitions if there's no partition to print. This is trivial
but still user-visible behavior.

Oops, forgot to pass -n to git-format-patch. The above order is correct
and the git tree has it all ordered, so I won't resend to the mailing
list. Jens, I'll resend with proper numbers to you privately.
Thanks.

d805dda4 tried to fix error case handling in add_partition() but had a
few problems.
* disk->part[] entry is set early and left dangling if operation
fails.
* Once device initialized, the last put_device() is responsible for
freeing all the resources. The failure path freed part_stats and p
regardless of put_device() causing double free.
* holders subdir holds reference to the disk device, so failure path
should remove it to release resources properly which was missing.
This patch fixes the above problems and while at it move partition
slot busy check into add_partition() for completeness and inlines
holders subdirectory creation. Using separate function for it just
obfuscates the code.

1.5.4.5
Recent block_class iteration updates 5c6f35c5..27f3025 broke partition
info printouts.
* printk_all_partitions(): Partition print out stops when it meets a
partition hole. Partition printing inner loop should continue
instead of exiting on empty partition slot.
* /proc/partitions and /proc/diskstats: If all information can't be
read in single read(), the information is truncated. This is
because find_start() doesn't actually update the counter containing
the initial seek. It runs to the end and ends up always reporting
EOF on the second read.
This patch fixes both problems.

The bugs should now be fixed in Linus's tree due to a fix from Kay,
right?
The user visable behavior change, I missed that, sorry, that is a
regression, do you think it's a big deal to fix in 2.6.27?

I have no problem taking all of these patches as I did this original
work and don't want to burden Jens with this. Also, I'd like to work
off of the klist changes and class changes as that can be used in other
work that I want to do in the driver core.
Jens any objection to me taking them? Do you also have changes in this
area that this needs to be merged with?
thanks,

It's actually easier for me to include them. Apart from a potential
clash in linux-next there, there shouldn't be any problem in that.

Ah.. okay, it's fixed in Linus's tree. Anyways, what do you think about
the new iterator?

It's probably something which no one really cares but it's not difficult
to fix and having the behavior changed for 2.6.27 and reverted in 28
isn't too nice. I'll send a patch.
Thanks.

Aiee.. never mind the last question. I somehow missed the last
paragraph. :-)

Ok, that's fine. Feel free to add my:
Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>
to them.
I'll grab the klist and class patch and also add them to my trees, that
should be easy to resolve in the linux-next merges.
