[66/71] cdrom: always check_disk_change() on open

[Greg KH]

2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit bf2253a6f00e8fea5b026e471e9f0d0a1b3621f2 upstream.

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.

Stable: 2.6.38
