When a blkfront device is resized from dom0, emit a KOBJ_CHANGE uevent to
notify the guest about the change. This allows for custom udev rules, such
as automatically resizing a filesystem, when an event occurs.

Looks pretty reasonable.

Could you confirm what the udevadm --monitor --kernel --udev emits when this happens?

Thanks!

Relevant output:

KERNEL[577.206230] change   /devices/vbd-51728/block/xvdb (block)
UDEV  [577.226218] change   /devices/vbd-51728/block/xvdb (block)

Of course, this is missing without the patch.
