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.

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
"Final small batch of fixes to be included before -rc1. Some general
cleanups in here as well, but some of the blk-mq fixes we need for the
NVMe conversion and/or scsi-mq. The pull request contains:
- Support for not merging across a specified "chunk size", if set by
the driver. Some NVMe devices perform poorly for IO that crosses
such a chunk, so we need to support it generically as part of
request merging avoid having to do complicated split logic. From
me.
- Bump max tag depth to 10Ki tags. Some scsi devices have a huge
shared tag space. Before we failed with EINVAL if a too large tag
depth was specified, now we truncate it and pass back the actual
value. From me.
- Various blk-mq rq init fixes from me and others.
- A fix for enter on a dying queue for blk-mq from Keith. This is
needed to prevent oopsing on hot device removal.
- Fixup for blk-mq timer addition from Ming Lei.

With the optimizations around not clearing the full request at alloc
time, we are leaving some of the needed init for REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC
up to the user allocating the request.
Add a blk_rq_set_block_pc() that sets the command type to
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC, and properly initializes the members associated
with this type of request. Update callers to use this function instead
of manipulating rq->cmd_type directly.

In drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c mmc_ioctl_cdrom_read_data() allocates a memory
area with kmalloc in line 2885.
2885 cgc->buffer = kmalloc(blocksize, GFP_KERNEL);
2886 if (cgc->buffer == NULL)
2887 return -ENOMEM;
In line 2908 we can find the copy_to_user function:
2908 if (!ret && copy_to_user(arg, cgc->buffer, blocksize))
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
memory bytes in kernel space from userspace.
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
partially filled. The result is an leak information to userspace.

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.

Disk event code automatically blocks events on excl write. This is
primarily to avoid issuing polling commands while burning is in

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.

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.
This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.
The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.
