The attached patch (which touches nearly every block device driver that
supports partitioned media) fixes a couple of problems when devfs is in use:
- when a block device's media is "revalidated", the partition table is
re-read and /dev nodes are created for those partitions, but the previously
existing entries are not removed first. this can easily lead to "left over"
entries when the partition table is changed (either by partition table
editing or replacement of removable media)
- if media is ejected from a removable media device (normally done using an
ioctl), the /dev entries for that media do not get removed
- if a block device driver has sub-drivers (specifically the IDE layer)
loaded as modules, and one of those sub-drivers is unloaded, the /dev nodes
it was responsible for do not get removed. this problem will not occur if
the main block driver (at the major number level) is unloaded, only for
sub-drivers
The patch is against 2.4.8-pre1, but should apply to nearly any recent
kernel version. I have tested that all the drivers compile (except for acsi
and acorn/mfmhd since I don't have those platforms), and have tested the
desired effects on the ide-floppy driver. In addition, there are very likely
other block device drivers in other architecture trees that I did not touch
as the code was not clearly understandable (to me at least). Comments
welcome :-)
