I don't think that patch updates the block inode size. We'd need to
call fs/block_dev.c:revalidate_disk() instead of directly calling
cdi->disk->fops->revalidate_disk(cdi->disk).
fs/block_dev.c:revalidate_disk() calls check_disk_size_change(), which
will update the inode size.
Then the patch is buggy :-) As Tejun also says in the thread, the
patch should be in the block layer, not sr.c.
(btw that patch does update /sys/block/sr0/size, so that part of
revalidation is done.)
