parted/libparted-open-the-device-RO-and-lazily-switch-to-RW.patch

From: Petr Uzel <petr.uzel@suse.cz>

Subject: libparted: open the device RO and lazily switch to RW only if
 necessary
References: bsc#979275
Patch-mainline: not yet

Avoid useless udev events triggered by opening the device RW
for purely read-only operations.

Author: Michael Matz <matz@suse.de>
[sparschauer: Use _flush_cache() also for reads, don't switch to RW
 in _flush_cache() to avoid a possible recursion (bnc#989751), open
 partitions in _flush_cache() O_RDONLY instead of O_WRONLY]
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Parschauer <sparschauer@suse.de>
