The current implementation of the CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl relies on
global state, meaning that only one process can detect a disc change
while the ioctl call will return 0 for other calling processes afterwards
(see bug 213267 ).
This introduces a new cdrom ioctl, CDROM_TIMED_MEDIA_CHANGE, that
works by maintaining a timestamp of the last detected disc change instead
of a boolean flag: Processes calling this ioctl command can provide
a timestamp of the last disc change known to them and receive
an indication whether the disc was changed since then and the updated
timestamp.
I considered fixing the buggy behavior in the original
CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl but that would require maintaining state
for each calling process in the kernel, which seems like a worse
solution than introducing this new ioctl.

I have now incorporated the suggestions of Phil, Christoph and Randy for v2.
- fixed overly long lines
- has_changed is now media_flags in the new ioctl struct
- fixed brace on new line after struct definition
- using if instead of cryptic assignment for better readability
Hope everyone is happy with it now. However, if anything still comes up, let me know.
Thanks for all the feedback so far.
Best,
Lukas
