[PATCH 3/6] Check for device resize when rescanning partitions

From: Andrew Patterson
Date: Fri Aug 29 2008 - 19:14:52 EST


Check for device resize when rescanning partitions

Check for device resize in the rescan_partitions() routine. If the device
has been resized, the bdev size is set to match. The rescan_partitions()
routine is called when opening the device and when calling the
BLKRRPART ioctl.
