[PATCH] cdrom: gdrom: initialize global variable at init time

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu May 06 2021 - 10:00:52 EST


From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

As Peter points out, if we were to disconnect and then reconnect this
driver from a device, the "global" state of the device would contain odd
values and could cause problems. Fix this up by just initializing the
whole thing to 0 at probe() time.

Ideally this would be a per-device variable, but given the age and the
total lack of users of it, that would require a lot of s/./->/g changes
for really no good reason.

Note, this goes on top of my previous "gdrom" patch submitted here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210503115736.2104747-28-gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

And I'll just take it in the same series.
