From 742c7795ea2854f36215d4a328608c17085bdff1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Georgios Toptsidis Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2015 10:50:08 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] cdrom: Random writing support for BD-RE media commit f7e7868b4743f1cc5e59e6e0ddd3ccf9cfe53a1b upstream. Recently, i bought a blu-ray writer and noticed that while cdrecord worked perfectly, random writing didn't work on rewritable bd-re media. For example, dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sr0 bs=32768 count=2 gave the usual "read-only file system" message. After checking if the problem lies with my burner or firmware, i grep-ed the kernel source for EROFS. One of the results was in the cdrom driver. I tried to follow the function chain and ended in the cdrom_is_dvd_rw function where writing is permitted only for DVD-RAM and DVD+RW media. I added a new case label for 0x43 which is the profile name of BD-RE and now it works correctly for BD-RE too. Maybe there is a better way of implementing this, like a new function checking for blu-ray support and called from cdrom_open_write like it happens for mrw and dvdram media, but adding the case label worked. Thank you for your time. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings --- Reading git-format-patch failed
