After the rework from commit1ebe2e5f9d("block: remove GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT"), when calling device_add_disk(), dcssblk will end up in disk_scan_partitions(), and not break out early w/o GENHD_FL_NO_PART. This will trigger implicit open/release via blkdev_get/put_whole() later. dcssblk_release() will then deadlock on dcssblk_devices_sem semaphore, which is already held from dcssblk_add_store() when calling device_add_disk(). dcssblk does not support partitions (DCSSBLK_MINORS_PER_DISK == 1), and never scanned partitions before. Therefore restore the previous behavior, and explicitly disallow partition scanning by setting the GENHD_FL_NO_PART flag. This will also prevent this deadlock scenario.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
