* is 1, which can be check with 'ext_range' sysfs attribute. Explicit flag ('GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN')

- * With https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/1ebe2e5f9d68e94c524aba876f27b945669a7879 (v5.17), we
- * can check the flag from 'ext_range' sysfs attribute directly.
+ * With https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/46e7eac647b34ed4106a8262f8bedbb90801fadd (v5.17),
+ * the flag is renamed to GENHD_FL_NO_PART.

+ * With https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/430cc5d3ab4d0ba0bd011cfbb0035e46ba92920c (v5.17),
+ * the value of GENHD_FL_NO_PART is changed from 0x0200 to 0x0004. 💣💣💣
+ * Note, the new value was used by the GENHD_FL_MEDIA_CHANGE_NOTIFY flag, which was introduced by
+ * 86ce18d7b7925bfd6b64c061828ca2a857ee83b8 (v2.6.22), and removed by
+ * 9243c6f3e012a92dd900d97ef45efaf8a8edc448 (v5.7). If we believe the commit message of
+ * e81cd5a983bb35dabd38ee472cf3fea1c63e0f23, the flag was never used. So, fortunately, we can use
+ * both the new and old values safely.
*
* With https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/e81cd5a983bb35dabd38ee472cf3fea1c63e0f23 (v6.3),
* the 'capability' sysfs attribute is deprecated, hence we cannot check the flag from it.
