      block: don't block events on excl write for non-optical devices · d4dc210f
      Tejun Heo authored 
      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

      block: rescan partitions on invalidated devices on -ENOMEDIA too · 1196f8b8
      Tejun Heo authored 
      __blkdev_get() doesn't rescan partitions if disk->fops->open() fails,
which leads to ghost partition devices lingering after medimum removal
is known to both the kernel and userland.  The behavior also creates a
subtle inconsistency where O_NONBLOCK open, which doesn't fail even if
there's no medium, clears the ghots partitions, which is exploited to
work around the problem from userland.

Fix it by updating __blkdev_get() to issue partition rescan after
-ENOMEDIA too.

This was reported in the following bz.

      cdrom: always check_disk_change() on open · ea6949b6
      Tejun Heo authored 
      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.
