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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
