This patch series renames "sd_format_disk_name()" to "disk_name_format()" and moves it into block core. So that who needs formatting disk name can use it, instead of duplicating these similar help functions. Ren Mingxin (4): block: add function disk_name_format() into block core scsi: replace sd_format_disk_name() to disk_name_format() block: replace rssd_disk_name_format() to disk_name_format() virtio_blk: use disk_name_format() to support mass of disks naming block/genhd.c | 49 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c | 33 ------------------------- drivers/block/virtio_blk.c | 13 ---------- drivers/scsi/sd.c | 48 ------------------------------------- include/linux/genhd.h | 2 + 5 files changed, 54 insertions(+), 91 deletions(-) Any comment will be appreciated.
