Prev: [PATCH 6/8] SCSI: implement sd_unlock_native_capacity()
Next: [stable-2.6.33.4 PATCH] USB: option.c: OLIVETTI OLICARD100 support
From: Tejun Heo on 15 May 2010 14:20 Device resize via ->set_capacity() can reveal new partitions (e.g. in chained partition table formats such as dos extended parts). Restart partition scan from the beginning after resizing a device. This change also makes libata always revalidate the disk after resize which makes lower layer native capacity unlocking implementation simpler and more robust as resize can be handled in the usual path.
