From 6bcf19d02a5d7e627fa054f2f10e0a8d830df326 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kay Sievers Date: Sun, 9 Mar 2008 21:26:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] block: send disk "change" event for rescan_partitions() Userspace likes to get notified that the disk may have changed, when rescan_partitions() is called after partitioning or media change. It will make it possible to update the state of the disk with the "change" event, before the following partition "add" events are handled.
