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: pass epd context pointer to find_valid_gpt()
      partitions: gpt: only write actual ptes size to device
      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
