(Updated April 19, 2017, 11:05 a.m.) Review request for KDE Frameworks. Changes ------- Fix trailing whitespace Repository: solid Description ------- Previously, udesksblock.cpp was attempting to find a definition for major/minor on Linux in <sys/kdev_t.h> by checking Q_OS_LINUX before importing the header. Q_OS_LINUX is however only set when qsystemdetection.h is included, and the macro was being checked first. Even had this check worked, it would still be wrong. On a modern version of the userspace linux-headers, <sys/kdev_t.h> includes definitions for major and minor that assume each is limited to 8 bits and that dev_t is 16 bits. This is no longer true anymore; on Linux, major numbers can be up to 12 bits at present and minor numbers up to 20. Calling these macros with dev_t values > 2^16 would give incorrect results. Because the Q_OS_LINUX check failed, a fallback version of the macros were defined for use on all platforms. The code is allegedly copied from kdev_t.h, except it is copied from the *kernel* version of the header, not the userspace version. Linux internally uses a different representation of dev_t than it exposes to userspace - the kernelspace version is 20 bits of minor/12 bits of major contiguously, but the userspace version packs the bits in a different order to maintain compatability with old 16-bit device numbers. Thus, this code also does not work for dev_t values > 2^16. To fix this, we add CMake rules to search for a system-provided definition of the major/minor macros - on various systems, these can be in a few different places. As a fallback, we assume old-style 16-bit dev_t (although I suspect that is only used for Windows, where major/minor numbers are pretty meaningless anyway).

It was previously incorrectly labeling all my disks with major 0 and minor == device_number (since it was using the first 20 bits for the minor). It now correctly identifies their major/minor number.
