commit d4dc210f69bcb0b4bef5a83b1c323817be89bad1 upstream.

Disk event code automatically blocks events on excl write.  This is
primarily to avoid issuing polling commands while burning is in
progress.  This behavior doesn't fit other types of devices with
removeable media where polling commands don't have adverse side
effects and door locking usually doesn't exist.

This patch introduces new genhd flag which controls the auto-blocking
behavior and uses it to enable auto-blocking only on optical devices.

Note for stable: 2.6.38 and later only

commit 1c27030bd21e7e2c68ef5be9f28c63778cf4b27f upstream.

Convert gdrom and viocd from -&gt;media_changed() to -&gt;check_events().

It's unclear how the conditions are cleared and it's possible that it
may generate spurious events when polled.

<title>cdrom: always check_disk_change() on open</title>

commit bf2253a6f00e8fea5b026e471e9f0d0a1b3621f2 upstream.

cdrom_open() called check_disk_change() after the rest of open path
succeeded which leads to the following bizarre behavior.

* After media change, if the device opened without O_NONBLOCK,
  open_for_data() naturally fails with -ENOMEDIA and
  check_disk_change() is never called.  The media is known to be gone
  and the open failure makes it obvious to the userland but device
  invalidation never happens.

* But if the device is opened with O_NONBLOCK, all the checks are
  bypassed and cdrom_open() doesn't notice that the media is not there
  and check_disk_change() is called and invalidation happens.

There's nothing to be gained by avoiding calling check_disk_change()
on open failure.  Common cases end up calling check_disk_change()
anyway.  All we get is inconsistent behavior.

Fix it by moving check_disk_change() invocation to the top of
cdrom_open() so that it always gets called regardless of how the rest
of open proceeds.

Stable: 2.6.38

<title>cdrom: support devices that have check_events but not media_changed</title>

Commit 93aae17af1172c40c6f74b7294e93a90c3cfaa5d ("sr: implement
sr_check_events()") replaced the media_changed op with the
check_events op in drivers/scsi/sr.c

All users that check for the CDC_MEDIA_CHANGED capbility try both
the check_events op and the media_changed op, but register_cdrom()
was requiring media_changed.

This patch fixes the capability checking.

The cdrom_select_disc ioctl is also using the two operations, so
they should be required for CDC_SELECT_DISC too.

In principle, cdrom just needs to pass through -&gt;check_events() but
CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl makes things a bit more complex.  Just as
with -&gt;media_changed() support, cdrom code needs to buffer the events
and serve them to ioctl and vfs as requested.

As the code has to deal with both -&gt;check_events() and
-&gt;media_changed(), and vfs and ioctl event buffering, this patch adds
check_events caching on top of the existing cdi-&gt;mc_flags buffering.

It may be a good idea to deprecate CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl and
remove all this mess.

The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel
calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers
were already using the BKL before.

This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
Still need to check whether this is safe to do.
