Thanks.  The patch is fine.
Good timing.  If I'm lucky, I'll make an upstream beta release today.

I've adjusted the log to keep line lengths < 72 and fixed
a space-before-TAB warning in the code.
Also, thanks for the BZ URL.  I've used a shortened and http (not https)
version of it.

I'll mention this fix in NEWS separately.

Subject: [PATCH] ped_partition_busy: do not call the libparted exception handler

Modify libparted/arch/linux.c _partition_get_part_dev() to not call
_device_stat() but instead use stat directly, as _device_stat() calls
the libparted exception handler, and we don't want this here, the only
caller of _partition_get_part_dev() is _partition_is_mounted(), which
in turn only gets called by linux_partition_is_busy(), and we don't
want to "throw" exceptions from ped_partition_busy().

This issue was noticed in combination with pyparted as used by
anaconda, see: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/527035#c10
