Subject: [PATCH] block: add no_part_scan module parameter
|
|
|
|
Define a boolean module parameter named "no_part_scan" defaulting to N,
|
|
which, if set to Y, always causes the GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN flag to be
|
|
added to subsequently created block devices, thereby disabling the
|
|
kernel's various partition table parsers for them.
|
|
|
|
The parameter's current value can be changed at any time by writing to
|
|
the /sys/module/block/parameters/no_part_scan file.
