[PATCH 1/2] kill FMODE_NDELAY_NOW

2008-12-04T09:22:57Z

Update FMODE_NDELAY before each ioctl call so that we can kill the magic FMODE_NDELAY_NOW. It would be even better to do this directly in setfl(), but for that we'd need to have FMODE_NDELAY for all files, not just block special files. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

[PATCH] clean up blkdev_get a little bit

2008-12-04T09:22:56Z

The way the bd_claim for the FMODE_EXCL case is implemented is rather confusing. Clean it up to the most logical style. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Al Viro

block: fix __blkdev_get() for removable devices

2008-11-06T07:41:56Z

Commit 0762b8bde9729f10f8e6249809660ff2ec3ad735 moved disk_get_part() in front of recursive get on the whole disk, which caused removable devices to try disk_get_part() before rescanning after a new media is inserted, which might fail legit open attempts or give the old partition. This patch fixes the problem by moving disk_get_part() after __blkdev_get() on the whole disk. This problem was spotted by Borislav Petkov.
