Subject: [PATCH 2/4] partitions: add ->set_capacity block device method
Date: Sun, 31 May 2009 16:39:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090531143924.7164.25770.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090531143911.7164.26834.sendpatchset@localhost.localdomain>
From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
Subject: [PATCH] partitions: add ->set_capacity block device method
* Add ->set_capacity block device method and use it in rescan_partitions()
to attempt enabling native capacity of the device upon detecting the
partition which exceeds device capacity.
* Add GENHD_FL_NATIVE_CAPACITY flag to try limit attempts of enabling
native capacity during partition scan.
Together with the consecutive patch implementing ->set_capacity method in
ide-gd device driver this allows automatic disabling of Host Protected Area
(HPA) if any partitions overlapping HPA are detected.
