    bdev: Refresh bdev size for disks without partitioning · cba22d86
    Jan Kara authored
    Currently, block device size in not updated on second and further open
    for block devices where partition scan is disabled. This is particularly
    annoying for example for DVD drives as that means block device size does
    not get updated once the media is inserted into a drive if the device is
    already open when inserting the media. This is actually always the case
    for example when pktcdvd is in use.
    
    Fix the problem by revalidating block device size on every open even for
    devices with partition scan disabled.
