From 7b7b68bba5ef23734c35ffb0d8d82079ed604d33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 02:08:13 +0100 Subject: floppy: bail out in open() if drive is not responding to block0 read In case reading of block 0 during open() fails, it is not the right thing to let open() succeed. Fix this by introducing FD_OPEN_SHOULD_FAIL_BIT flag, and setting it in case the bio callback encounters an error while trying to read block 0. As a bonus, this works around certain broken userspace (blkid), which is not able to properly handle read()s returning IO errors. Hence be nice to those, and bail out during open() already; if block 0 is not readable, read()s are not going to provide any meaningful data anyway.
