    block: allow deleting zero length partition · ec2cdedf
    Tejun Heo authored
    delete_partition() was noop for zero length partition.  As the
    addition code allows creating zero lenght partition and deletion is
    assumed to always succeed, this causes memory leak for zero length
    partitions.  Allow zero length partitions to end their meaningless
    lives.
    
    While at it, allow deleting zero lenght partition via
    BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION ioctl too.
