    Make the following changes to partition check code.

    * Add ->bdev to struct parsed_partitions.

    * Introduce read_part_sector() which is a simple wrapper around
    read_dev_sector() which takes struct parsed_partitions *state
    instead of @bdev.

    * For functions which used to take @state and @bdev, drop @bdev. For
    functions which used to take @bdev, replace it with @state.

    * While updating, drop superflous checks on NULL state/bdev in ldm.c.

    This cleans up the API a bit and enables better handling of IO errors
    during partition check as the generic partition check code now has
    much better visibility into what went wrong in the low level code
    paths.

  • 0e6e1db4a   [PATCH] partitions: Read Rio Karma partition table ... Browse Code »

    The Rio Karma portable MP3 player has its own proprietary partition table.

    The partition layout is similar to a DOS boot sector but it begins at a
    different offset and uses a different magic number (0xAB56 instead of
    0xAA55). Add support for it to enable mounting the device.
