Hello, all. This is the evolved version of the implement-set_capacity patchset[L] and contains the following patches. 0001-buffer-make-invalidate_bdev-drain-all-percpu-LRU-add.patch 0002-block-restart-partition-scan-after-resizing-a-device.patch 0003-block-ide-simplify-bdops-set_capacity-to-unlock_nati.patch 0004-block-use-struct-parsed_partitions-state-universally.patch 0005-block-improve-automatic-native-capacity-unlocking.patch 0006-SCSI-implement-sd_unlock_native_capacity.patch 0007-libata-use-the-enlarged-capacity-after-late-HPA-unlo.patch 0008-libata-implement-on-demand-HPA-unlocking.patch 0001-0005 fix and update partition check related code and make the existing automatic native capacity unlocking mechanism simpler and more robust. 0001 fixes invalidate_bdev() which seems to have been somewhat broken for quite some time since percpu LRU add cache was introduced. 0002 makes partition code to restart from beginning after native capacity is locked so that resize and all other stuff can be dealt with in the usual revalidation path. 0003 renames ->set_capacity() to ->unlock_native_capacity() and drops the spurious new capacity parameter and return value. 0004 updates partition check API for the next patch. 0005 improves automatic native capacity unlocking code so that it covers all partition misdetection cases which can be caused by limited disk capacity. 0006-0008 add ->unlock_native_capacity() support to libata. 0001-0005 are probably best routed through block tree if David is okay with it (0003 modifies ide), and 0006-0008 through libata if James is okay with the SCSI part. What do you guys think?
