Re: [PATCH v2 2/2] cdrom: gdrom: update gendisk capacity on open

Update the gendisk capacity of the media. Without the capacity, the block
reads fail before reaching the request queue, which prevented ISO9660
mounts. Refresh the capacity from the TOC leadout in gdrom_bdops_open()
so it checks the inserted media.

v1->v2: no change for gdrom_update_capacity(), but for
gdrom_bdops_open(): handle the failure case when
gdrom_update_capacity() fails but previous cdrom_open() succeeded,
to cleanup the successful cdrom_open() with cdrom_release()
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sh/20260405082330.4104672-3-fuchsfl@xxxxxxxxx/

Hey Florian,
thanks for v2!

PS. I found the reason behind mount failing for the first time after
a disc swap - you need to send a dummy 0x0 SPI command to "sink"
the pending UNIT_ATTENTION error, otherwise it will permeate at
the next command executed, which in our case is gdrom_preparedisk_cmd().
I already sent you a WIP patch via IRC. Once you test it, would you
consider including it in this series and sending v3?
Cheers,
Artur
