Subject: [PATCH 3.12 13/72] floppy: bail out in open() if drive is not responding to block0 read

From: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@...e.cz>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 7b7b68bba5ef23734c35ffb0d8d82079ed604d33 upstream.

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.
