Hi,

Here is a trivial bug fix for blkdev_reread_part() in 2.5.31.
Without this fix, "fdisk" hangs with following messages:

        Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table.

        WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 16:
                        Device or resource busy.
        The kernel still uses the old table.
        The new table will be used at the next reboot.

Please apply.

Thanks,
Badari
