From ec2cdedf798385a9397ac50dd0405dd658f8529c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Mon, 25 Aug 2008 19:30:15 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] block: allow deleting zero length partition delete_partition() was noop for zero length partition. As the addition code allows creating zero lenght partition and deletion is assumed to always succeed, this causes memory leak for zero length partitions. Allow zero length partitions to end their meaningless lives. While at it, allow deleting zero lenght partition via BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION ioctl too.
