Description Alasdair Kergon 2005-11-14 18:25:31 UTC
From: "goggin, edward" <egoggin>

Changed dm_hash_rename() to wake up any dm event waiters for
a mapped device after changing the name of the mapped device.

Userspace multipath tools want to know when this happens.

dm-ioctl-event-on-rename.patch
