[PATCH v2 2/2] nbd: drop stale partitions on NBD_CLEAR_SOCK

[Daan De Meyer via B4 Relay]

From: Daan De Meyer <daan@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Commit 267ec4d7223a ("loop: fix partition scan race between udev and
loop_reread_partitions()") stopped disk_force_media_change() from
setting GD_NEED_PART_SCAN. Besides requesting a rescan, that bit was what
removed stale partitions on the next open, as bdev_disk_changed() drops
all partitions before it consults disk_has_partscan().

nbd_clear_sock_ioctl() relied on that. It zeroes the capacity through
nbd_bdev_reset(), but nothing removes the partitions of the disconnected
device anymore. With the default max_part=16 they linger until the next
connect sets GD_NEED_PART_SCAN again. With max_part=0 nothing ever sets
it, so they are never removed at all, even though nbd does not set
GENHD_FL_NO_PART and partitions can therefore still be added with BLKPG.

Set GD_NEED_PART_SCAN in nbd_clear_sock_ioctl() so the partitions are
dropped on the next open. Calling bdev_disk_changed() directly is not an
option as it needs open_mutex, which nbd_open() acquires under
config_lock.
