Saranya Muruganandam April 10, 2024, 11:39 p.m. UTC
The BLKRRPART ioctl used to report errors such as EIO before we changed
the blkdev_reread_part() logic.

Add a flag and capture the errors returned by bdev_disk_changed()
when the flag is set. Set this flag for the BLKRRPART path when we
want the errors to be reported when rereading partitions on the disk.

Tested: Tested by simulating failure to the block device and will
propose a new test to blktests.
Fixes: 4601b4b130de ("block: reopen the device in blkdev_reread_part")

The change looks good to me. I also confirmed the fix with the new,
corresponding blktests test case.

which patch is the final one ? Is it this one or the one posted with
title :-

"block: propagate partition scanning errors to the BLKRRPART ioctl​" ?

Please clarify so I can make sure to run some tests at my end.

The patch I reviewed and tested is the one that Saranya reflected my comment.

The correct patch is still the one I sent on Marc 28th and not any
version that reattributes the changes and moves the flag into a totally
weird place.
