Subject: [PATCH v6 1/5] block: Add alternative_gpt_sector() operation
Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2021 01:19:16 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210818221920.3893-2-digetx@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210818221920.3893-1-digetx@gmail.com>
Add alternative_gpt_sector() block device operation which specifies
alternative location of a GPT entry. This allows us to support Android
devices that have GPT entry at a non-standard location and can't be
repartitioned easily.
Suggested-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>
