[PATCH] Fix cdrom error handling in 2.6
In both 2.4 and in 2.6, error handling for bad cdrom media is
wrong. And it is my fault I'm afraid, since I botched an earlier
fix for the problem by putting the fix in the wrong spot.
My kids have a "Jumpstart Toddlers" cd they have long since
completely killed, which makes a great test disc. Without this
fix, the best time projection I can get for completing a dd type
sector copy is about 2 years... Most of that is spent thrashing
about in kernel space trying to re-read sectors we already know
are not correctable.... After the fix, I was able to rip a copy
the CD (or rather muddle through it getting lots of EIO errors)
in about 15 minutes.
Attached is the fix for 2.6.x,
