Subject: [PATCH] block: fix EOD return for device with nr_sectors == 0
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2025 05:58:41 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <855243b5-1226-47d5-9ca8-c023209f5ee7@kernel.dk> (raw)
A recent commit skipped dumping the usual "attempt to access beyond end
of device" message if the device size is 0 sectors, as that's a common
pattern for devices that have been hot removed. But while it stopped
that message, it also prevented returning -EIO for that condition.
Reinstate the -EIO return, while retaining the quiet operation for
triggering EOD for a device with 0 sectors.
