Commit Message

Singh, Balbir Dec. 10, 2019, 3:01 a.m. UTC
Allow block/genhd to notify user space (via udev) about disk size changes
using a new helper disk_set_capacity(), which is a wrapper on top
of set_capacity(). disk_set_capacity() will only notify via udev if
the current capacity or the target capacity is not zero.

disk_set_capacity() is not enabled for all devices, just virtio block,
xen-blockfront, nvme and sd. Owners of other block disk devices can
easily move over by changing set_capacity() to disk_set_capacity()

Background:

As a part of a patch to allow sending the RESIZE event on disk capacity
change, Christoph (hch@lst.de) requested that the patch be made generic
and the hacks for virtio block and xen block devices be removed and
merged via a generic helper.

Testing:
1. I did some basic testing with an NVME device, by resizing it in
the backend and ensured that udevd received the event.

Any feedback on the RFC?

Nit: Use up all the 80 chars per line.  Also maybe turn this into a
kerneldoc comment.  I think you also want to mention the notification
as well.

No need for the double empty line.

And you probably want to turn this into a series with patch 1 adding
the infrastructure, and then one patch per driver switched over.

Will do!

Makes sense, will do
