From: Light Hsieh <light.hsieh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
For storage device with write-protection support, e.g. eMMC, register
check_disk_range_wp() in struct block_device_operations for checking
write-protection status. When creating block device for a partition, set
read/write policy according to result of check_disk_range_wp() operation
(if registered).
Without this patch, ro attribute is not set for created block device of
write-protected partition. User perform asynchronous buffered write to
such partition won't get immediate error and therefore he won't be awared
that write is not actually performed.
With this patch, ro attribute is set for created block device of
write-protected partition. User perform asynchronous buffered write to
such partition will get immediate error and therefore he will be awared.
