[PATCH 0/6] Fix cdrom autoclose

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

there is cdrom autoclose feature that is supposed to close the tray, wait for
the disc to become ready, and then open the device.

This used to work in ancient times. Then in old times there was a hack in
util-linux which worked around the breakage which probably resulted from
switching to scsi emulation.

Currently util-linux maintainer refuses to merge another hack on the basis that
kernel still has the feature so it should be fixed there. Indeed, to implement
this feature effectively from userspace one would need to know when the CD-ROM
is in the "drive becoming ready" state which is knowledge that never leaves the
hardware-specific driver and is passed neither to userspace nor the generic
cdrom driver.

So this patchset fixes the kernel autoclose implementation in cdrom.c and to
do so reports the "drive becoming ready" state from the harware specific
drivers.

  delay: add poll_event_interruptible
  cdrom: factor out common open_for_* code
  cdrom: wait for tray to close
  cdrom: introduce CDS_DRIVE_ERROR
  Documentetion: cdrom: introduce CDS_DRIVE_ERROR
  cdrom: wait for drive to become ready
