The floppy driver usually autodetects the media when used with the normal /dev/fd? devices, which also are the only nodes created by udev. But it also supports various aliases that force a given media format. That is currently supported using the blk_register_region framework which finds the floppy gendisk even for a 'mismatched' dev_t. The problem with this (besides the code complexity) is that it creates multiple struct block_device instances for the whole device of a single gendisk, which can lead to interesting issues in code not aware of that fact. To fix this just create a separate gendisk for each of the aliases if they are accessed. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
