Please make sure you CC linux-block if you add block device ops.

Still a complete nack for splitting a fundamental operation over two ops, especially just for working around a piece of buggy software.

Still did not provide an awesome alternative that does not sneed splitting the operation. What is it, specifically? Thanks Michal

Opening a block device may require a long operation such as waiting for the cdrom tray to close. Performing this operation with locks held locks out other attempts to open the device. These processes waiting to open the device are not killable. To avoid this issue and still be able to perform time-consuming checks at open() time the block device driver can provide open_finish(). If it does opening the device proceeds even when an error is returned from open(), bd_mutex is released and open_finish() is called. If open_finish() succeeds the device is now open, if it fails release() is called. When -ERESTARTSYS is returned from open() blkdev_get may loop without calling open_finish(). On -ERESTARTSYS open_finish() is not called. Move a ret = 0 assignment up in the if/else branching to avoid returning -ENXIO. Previously the return value was ignored on the unhandled branch.
