* DOC: genhd capability flags
*
- * ``GENHD_FL_REMOVABLE`` (0x0001): indicates that the block device
- * gives access to removable media.
- * When set, the device remains present even when media is not
- * inserted.
- * Must not be set for devices which are removed entirely when the
+ * ``GENHD_FL_REMOVABLE``: indicates that the block device gives access to
+ * removable media. When set, the device remains present even when media is not
+ * inserted. Shall not be set for devices which are removed entirely when the
* media is removed.
*
- * ``GENHD_FL_CD`` (0x0008): the block device is a CD-ROM-style
- * device.
- * Affects responses to the ``CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY`` ioctl.
+ * ``GENHD_FL_HIDDEN``: the block device is hidden; it doesn't produce events,
+ * doesn't appear in sysfs, and can't be opened from userspace or using
+ * blkdev_get*. Used for the underlying components of multipath devices.
*
- * ``GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO`` (0x0020): don't include
- * partition information in ``/proc/partitions`` or in the output of
- * printk_all_partitions().
- * Used for the null block device and some MMC devices.
+ * ``GENHD_FL_NO_PART``: partition support is disabled. The kernel will not
+ * scan for partitions from add_disk, and users can't add partitions manually.
*
- * ``GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT`` (0x0040): the driver supports extended
- * dynamic ``dev_t``, i.e. it wants extended device numbers
- * (``BLOCK_EXT_MAJOR``).
- * This affects the maximum number of partitions.
- *
- * ``GENHD_FL_NATIVE_CAPACITY`` (0x0080): based on information in the
- * partition table, the device's capacity has been extended to its
- * native capacity; i.e. the device has hidden capacity used by one
- * of the partitions (this is a flag used so that native capacity is
- * only ever unlocked once).
- *
- * ``GENHD_FL_BLOCK_EVENTS_ON_EXCL_WRITE`` (0x0100): event polling is
- * blocked whenever a writer holds an exclusive lock.
- *
- * ``GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN`` (0x0200): partition scanning is disabled.
- * Used for loop devices in their default settings and some MMC
- * devices.
- *
- * ``GENHD_FL_HIDDEN`` (0x0400): the block device is hidden; it
- * doesn't produce events, doesn't appear in sysfs, and doesn't have
- * an associated ``bdev``.
- * Implies ``GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO`` and
- * ``GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN``.
- * Used for multipath devices.
