Subject: [PATCH] SCSI: early detection of medium not present, updated

This patch (as757) is meant to apply on top of the
scsi-core-and-sd-early-detection-of-medium-not-present patch currently in
2.6.18-rc2-mm1.  It updates the way the scsi_test_unit_ready() routine
reports medium not present, using the technique recommended by James
Bottomley.

Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@...land.harvard.edu>

If James would prefer, I could submit this in a different form: first 
revert the earlier SCSI patch and then add the new stuff from this one.

In a brief conversation during OLS, Jens said that he saw no problem with
allowing the block layer to accept -ENOMEDIUM as a return code from the 
media_changed method.  The patch is already in -mm, named
block-layer-early-detection-of-medium-not-present.

In principle cdrom drivers could use a similar technique to avoid calling 
the revalidate method when no disc is loaded, but that would require more 
far-reaching changes.  For now it's easier to confine this to disk drives.
