This is a patch set for fixing bugs on partition handling code which was found when I read loop block device code as well as some cleanups. The patch 2/5 and 3/5 are real fixes and should go to the stable tree as Jens suggested on loop patches. Since partition managing code was introduced by commit d7853d1f8932 ("brd: modify ramdisk device to be able to manage partitions") all stable releases would need these fixes. $ git name-rev --tags d7853d1f8932 d7853d1f8932 tags/v2.6.26-rc1~122 As always, any comments are welcomed. Thanks.
