Subject: [PATCH 2/2] blkid: fix broken garbage collection
Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2013 01:14:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371662041-20710-2-git-send-email-guaneryu@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1371662041-20710-1-git-send-email-guaneryu@gmail.com>
'blkid -g' fails to perform garbage collection on the blkid cache
since commit
fe144e1 libblkid: Refuse to create a device structure for a non-existent device
Non-existent devices won't be added to the cache->bic_devs list, so
blkid_gc_cache() couldn't even know the to-be-gc'ed devices.
To fix that a new cache flag BLKID_BIC_FL_GC is added to indicate that
there are stale devices in cache to be gc'ed, as devices are all valid
in cache->bic_devs we can just write out the cache to disk to perform
the garbage collection.
Tested by adding non-existent device entry to blkid.tab and running
'blkid -g' to see whether the entry is removed. 'make -C lib/blkid
check' reported no failures too.
Also fix the return value of 'blkid -g', return 0 instead.
