Commit 20bd1d026aac ("scsi: sd: Keep disk read-only when re-reading
partition") addressed a long-standing problem with user read-only
policy being overridden as a result of a device-initiated revalidate.
The commit has since been reverted due to a regression that left some
USB devices read-only indefinitely.
To fix the underlying problems with revalidate we need to keep track
of hardware state and user policy separately.
The gendisk has been updated to reflect the current hardware state set
by the device driver. This is done to allow returning the device to
the hardware state once the user clears the BLKROSET flag.
The resulting semantics are as follows:
- If BLKROSET sets a given partition read-only, that partition will
remain read-only even if the underlying storage stack initiates a
revalidate. However, the BLKRRPART ioctl will cause the partition
table to be dropped and any user policy on partitions will be lost.
- If BLKROSET has not been set, both the whole disk device and any
partitions will reflect the current write-protect state of the
underlying device.
Based on a patch from Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@xxxxxxxxxx>.
