There is another cast from unsigned long to int which causes
a bounds check to fail with specially crafted input. The value is
then used as an index in the slot array in cdrom_slot_status().

This removes more casts of struct request_sense and uses the standard
struct scsi_sense_hdr instead. This also fixes any possible stale values

There is a lot of needless struct request_sense usage in the CDROM
code. These can all be struct scsi_sense_hdr instead, to avoid any
confusion over their respective structure sizes. This patch is a lot
of noise changing "sense" to "sshdr", but the final code is more
readable to distinguish between "sense" meaning "struct request_sense"
and "sshdr" meaning "struct scsi_sense_hdr".

This task tried to open the cdrom device, the sr_block_open function
acquired the global sr_mutex lock. The call to check_disk_change()
then saw an event flag indicating a possible media change and tried
to flush any cached data for the device.
As part of the flush, it tried to acquire the super_block->s_umount
lock associated with the cdrom device.
This was the same super_block as created and locked by the previous task.
The first task acquires the s_umount lock and then the sr_mutex_lock;
the second task acquires the sr_mutex_lock and then the s_umount lock.
This patch fixes the issue by moving check_disk_change() out of

Recently, i bought a blu-ray writer and noticed that while cdrecord
worked perfectly, random writing didn't work on rewritable bd-re media.
For example, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sr0 bs=32768 count=2 gave the usual
"read-only file system" message.
After checking if the problem lies with my burner or firmware, i grep-ed
the kernel source for EROFS. One of the results was in the cdrom driver.
I tried to follow the function chain and ended in the cdrom_is_dvd_rw
function where writing is permitted only for DVD-RAM and DVD+RW media.
I added a new case label for 0x43 which is the profile name of BD-RE
and now it works correctly for BD-RE too.
Maybe there is a better way of implementing this, like a new function
checking for blu-ray support and called from cdrom_open_write like
it happens for mrw and dvdram media, but adding the case label worked.
Thank you for your time.

The blk_get_request function may fail in low-memory conditions or during
device removal (even if __GFP_WAIT is set). To distinguish between these
errors, modify the blk_get_request call stack to return the appropriate
ERR_PTR. Verify that all callers check the return status and consider
IS_ERR instead of a simple NULL pointer check.
For consistency, make a similar change to the blk_mq_alloc_request leg
of blk_get_request. It may fail if the queue is dead, or the caller was
unwilling to wait.

The cgc->buffer is never cleaned and initialized before this function.
If ret = 0 with the previous basic block, it's possible to display some

When we read a block from the disk it normally fills the ->buffer but if
the drive is malfunctioning there is a chance that it would only be

cdrom_open() called check_disk_change() after the rest of open path
succeeded which leads to the following bizarre behavior.
* After media change, if the device opened without O_NONBLOCK,
open_for_data() naturally fails with -ENOMEDIA and
check_disk_change() is never called. The media is known to be gone
and the open failure makes it obvious to the userland but device
invalidation never happens.
* But if the device is opened with O_NONBLOCK, all the checks are
bypassed and cdrom_open() doesn't notice that the media is not there
and check_disk_change() is called and invalidation happens.
There's nothing to be gained by avoiding calling check_disk_change()
on open failure. Common cases end up calling check_disk_change()
anyway. All we get is inconsistent behavior.
Fix it by moving check_disk_change() invocation to the top of
cdrom_open() so that it always gets called regardless of how the rest
of open proceeds.

In principle, cdrom just needs to pass through ->check_events() but
CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl makes things a bit more complex. Just as
with ->media_changed() support, cdrom code needs to buffer the events
and serve them to ioctl and vfs as requested.
As the code has to deal with both ->check_events() and
->media_changed(), and vfs and ioctl event buffering, this patch adds
check_events caching on top of the existing cdi->mc_flags buffering.
It may be a good idea to deprecate CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED ioctl and
remove all this mess.
