Subject: [PATCH 0/6] partitions: GPT: refresh partition tables when necessary
Date: Wed, 03 Dec 2025 16:19:04 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251203-efi-partition-refresh-v1-0-f0b6e79b5fa0@pengutronix.de> (raw)
This is a continuation of the patch previously sent separately:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251128111929.2463263-1-s.hauer@pengutronix.de/
Ahmad's comment to this was that we should write the inactive GPT first
to make sure there's always a valid GPT on the device. This series
implements just that. I stumbled upon a bug when we restore the primary
GPT from the alternate GPT, this is fixed in this series.

partitions: gpt: factor out a function to write primary/alternate GPT
partitions: gpt: write inactive GPT first
partitions: gpt: fix GPT restauration from alternate GPT
partitions: gpt: refresh partition tables when necessary
