[PATCH v2 1/4] block: Add invalidate_disk() helper to invalidate the gendisk

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



To hide internal implementation and simplify some driver code,
this adds a helper to invalidate the gendisk. It will clean the
gendisk's associated buffer/page caches and reset its internal
states.
