File libparted-Add-support-for-RAM-drives.patch of Package parted.14698

From: Sebastian Parschauer <sparschauer@suse.de>
Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2017 16:40:00 +0100
Subject: Add support for RAM drives
References: bsc#1006834
Patch-mainline: v3.3
Git-commit: 21131f62c6f508a5d0c080e025cf7db5df43fc7d

Recognize RAM drives, so "parted -s /dev/ram0 p" now prints
"RAM Drive (brd)" instead of "Model: Unknown (unknown)".

In order for a device to be recognized as RAM drive, it has to
have major number 1. Also the BLKFLSBUF ioctl shouldn't be used
on RAM drives as it is used to zero the device.

* NEWS: Mention the change
* include/parted/device.h.in(PedDeviceType): Add PED_DEVICE_RAM.
* libparted/arch/linux.c(RAM_MAJOR): New define.
* libparted/arch/linux.c(_device_probe_type): Recognize RAM drives.
* libparted/arch/linux.c(linux_new): Handle RAM drives.
* libparted/arch/linux.c(_flush_cache): Skip RAM drives.
* parted/parted.c(do_print): Add "brd" to list of transports.
