Lane <bcl@redhat.com> + + parted: Fix ending sector location when using kibi IEC suffix + This fixes a bug when using KiB to specify the ending location of a + partition. It was not subtracting 1s like it does with the other units + because it was looking for a 'k' not a 'K'. + + This also fixes a quirk of the suffix checking code, it would check for + matching case, but converting to the actual IEC value was case + insensitive. This now uses common functions for the matching so that + case doesn't matter. + + It also adds tests to check for the fix. + + The only change in behavior is that using KiB to specify the ending + location of a partition will now correctly create the end 1s lower than + the specified location like it does for MiB, GiB, etc. + +2023-02-15 Brian C.

Because + of this, creating a partition without writing a filesystem to it caused + loop_write to erase the loop label. + + There seems to be no reason to bother erasing the loop label if it is still + present along with a filesystem signature, so don't bother with this, and + actually check to see if a filesystem is detected in the partition rather + than using the existence of a partition to decide if writing the loop + signature is needed. Finally, since there is no way to preserve the + existence of a partition with no filesystem in it, have loop_read() always + create a partition, even if no filesystem is detected. + +2014-05-22 Phillip Susi <psusi@ubuntu.com> + + libparted: remove all old partitions, even if new label allows less + We were limiting partition sync operations to the lesser number allowed + by the device, or the label.

If you simultaneously removed partitions 1 + and 2, and created a new partition #1 that overlapped the previous second + partition, the sync would fail because it would try to create the new, + larger partition #1 before removing the old partition #2. + + libparted: don't detect fat and ntfs boot sectors as dos MBR + fat and ntfs boot sectors are very similar to an MBR so if you had one of + these filesystems on an unpartitioned disk, parted detected them as a dos + partition table.

Else, + do it the normal way." (Note that when using the FBA driver, + the effective block size is always 512, regardless of the CMS + logical block size stored in the volume label.

The error now + actually gets reported. + + The problem turns out to be in libparted/arch/linux.c's + _flush_cache function, which walks all the partitions of the + disk and does BLKFLSBUF calls on them. This causes the following: + + commit_to_os -> device_open -> fd = open /dev/sda -> + _flush_cache -> for each /dev/sda# open, ioctl, close + -> ioctl(fd, BLKRRPART) -> EBUSY + + What is happening here is that the: + for each /dev/sda# open, ioctl, close + + Is causing udev change events for all the /dev/sda# + nodes, which causes udev to call blkid on all these nodes + (on systems which use DeviceKit), so blkid has /dev/sda# nodes + open while BLKRRPART gets called on /dev/sda -> EBUSY. + + I've checked with two independend storage subsystem kernel + developers, and /dev/sda and /dev/sda#, guarantee cache coherency + now-a-days.

However for example /sys/block/sda/range contains 16, + there are 2 issue with libparted using this number: + 1) scsi major's only support 15 partitions, 1 of the range of 16 + is reserved for the whole device, yet libparted will try + to notify the kernel about 16 partitions if present + 2) If the major's partition minor's run out, the kernel will switch + to the mdp major for the other partitions, iow range no longer + limits the number of partitions. + + 2) libparted assumes the user knows what he is doing, and will ignore + -ebusy errors for partitions, assuming that the user is smart enough + to only change unused partitions. Parted does this without checking + if the partitions which return ebusy actually are unchanged causing + REAL errors to get unreported (BAD, really really BAD) + + 3) because of 1) libparted will only sync 1 partition on /dev/md# + devices (would be 0 if not for the of by 1 bug as all md#p# + partitions use the mdp major), and it fails to even do that without + reporting an error. + + ### + + 1) we can fix by simply not checking /sys/block/foo/range, but instead + just syncing max partitions. + + 2) is more troublesome, we could just make -EBUSY n error, + but that may annoy / bug some users. OTOH in certain cases libparted + already falls back to BLKRRPART which will return EBUSY so users + should already be prepared to handle EBUSY + + 3) Could be fixed by making libparted recognize mdraid as a device type + and except mdraid from using BLKPG, like it already is doing with + DASD, but it might be better to just get rid of using BLKPG all + together. See below. + + An even bigger problem IMHO is the use of the BLKPG ioctl instead of + BLKRRPART at all. What this does is tell the kernel parted's view + of the partition table and make it use that, instead of telling + the kernel to reread the partition table. According to the parted + sources this is done for the case where the kernel does not know + the disklabel type. However as soon as the system is rebooted, the + system will be using the kernel's view. So IMHO it would be much + better to always use the kernels view and just always call BLKRRPART + in commit_to_os(), this would solve all of the above issues, *and* + make the way the system views the partition table consistent between + just after running parted and after a reboot. + + I've attached a patch which removes the use of the BLKPG ioctl, notice + that this also removes a lot of special case code and workarounds, + which existence to me clearly indicates that using the BLKPG ioctl is + a bad idea. + + * libparted/arch/linux.c (linux_disk_commit): Remove the use of the + BLKPG ioctl. + (_blkpg_add_partition, _blkpg_part_command, _blkpg_remove_partition): + (_device_get_partition_range, _disk_sync_part_table, _have_blkpg): + (_have_devfs): Remove functions thus rendered unused. + +2009-08-28 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com> + + tests: make two partition-related tests work for other sector sizes + These two root-only tests would fail with the PARTED_SECTOR_SIZE envvar + set to anything other than 512.
