From db429e9ec0f9dee2d8e50c154f04f29f880fc9d6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2009 13:52:52 +0200 Subject: 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.
