Currently if disk_scan_partitions() failed, GD_NEED_PART_SCAN will still set, and partition scan will be proceed again when blkdev_get_by_dev() is called. However, this will cause a problem that re-assemble partitioned raid device will creat partition for underlying disk. Test procedure: mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l 1 -n 2 /dev/sda /dev/sdb -e 1.0 sgdisk -n 0:0:+100MiB /dev/md0 blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sda blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdb mdadm -S /dev/md0 mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sda /dev/sdb Test result: underlying disk partition and raid partition can be observed at the same time Note that this can still happen in come corner cases that GD_NEED_PART_SCAN can be set for underlying disk while re-assemble raid device.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
