They are synchronized by PM core.
PM core ensures that no two suspend or resume callback run concurrently.
And when ODD is executing a command, it is in active state, no PM
callback will run.

OK.

A little more information about this:
When there is disc inside and no program mounted the drive, the ODD will
be runtime suspended/resumed every 2 seconds along with the event poll.
I'm not sure if the above situation can happen often. Normal desktop
environment should automatically mount the ODD once they got uevent, and
for console users, they will probably manually mount the drive after
they have inserted a disc. The way I did it this way is to deal with the
worst possible case. But if this is deemed as not necessary, I think I
can remove the snoop hint thing and use TUR directly.
Thanks,
Aaron
