From: Mike Snitzer Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2016 14:46:23 +0000 (-0600) Subject: brd: remove support for BLKFLSBUF X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ff26956875c2f05e12ecec9938411a2c7dfc767d;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git brd: remove support for BLKFLSBUF Discontinue having the brd driver destructively free all pages in the ramdisk in response to the BLKFLSBUF ioctl. Doing so allows a BLKFLSBUF ioctl issued to a logical partition to destroy pages of the parent brd device (and all other partitions of that brd device). This change breaks compatibility - but in this case the compatibility breaks more than it helps.
