Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Wrapper for lower-level revalidate_disk routines.
Date: Thu, 08 May 2008 00:30:00 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080508063000.3818.94051.stgit@bluto.andrew> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080508062930.3818.31401.stgit@bluto.andrew>

Wrapper for lower-level revalidate_disk routines.

This is a wrapper for the lower-level revalidate_disk call-backs such
as sd_revalidate_disk(). It allows us to perform pre and post
operations when calling them.

We will use this wrapper in a later patch to adjust block device sizes
after an online resize (a _post_ operation).

Signed-off-by: Andrew Patterson <andrew.patterson@hp.com>
