    block: implement bd_claiming and claiming block · 6b4517a7

    Currently, device claiming for exclusive open is done after low level
    open - disk->fops->open() - has completed successfully.  This means
    that exclusive open attempts while a device is already exclusively
    open will fail only after disk->fops->open() is called.
    
    cdrom driver issues commands during open() which means that O_EXCL
    open attempt can unintentionally inject commands to in-progress
    command stream for burning thus disturbing burning process.  In most
    cases, this doesn't cause problems because the first command to be
    issued is TUR which most devices can process in the middle of burning.
    However, depending on how a device replies to TUR during burning,
    cdrom driver may end up issuing further commands.
    
    This can't be resolved trivially by moving bd_claim() before doing
    actual open() because that means an open attempt which will end up
    failing could interfere other legit O_EXCL open attempts.
    ie. unconfirmed open attempts can fail others.
    
    This patch resolves the problem by introducing claiming block which is
    started by bd_start_claiming() and terminated either by bd_claim() or
    bd_abort_claiming().  bd_claim() from inside a claiming block is
    guaranteed to succeed and once a claiming block is started, other
    bd_start_claiming() or bd_claim() attempts block till the current
    claiming block is terminated.
    
    bd_claim() can still be used standalone although now it always
    synchronizes against claiming blocks, so the existing users will keep
    working without any change.
    
    blkdev_open() and open_bdev_exclusive() are converted to use claiming
    blocks so that exclusive open attempts from these functions don't
    interfere with the existing exclusive open.
    
    This problem was discovered while investigating bko#15403.

    The burning problem itself can be resolved by updating userspace
    probing tools to always open w/ O_EXCL.
