Re: [PATCH] scsi: sr: Fix some cdroms automatically ejected when booting into the system

[job jin]

Hi Martin K. Petersen!

As things stand, we cannot guarantee that all events will be propagated
 to udev. So I think, we don't need to ensure that all events are received
 by udev, we only need to ensure that events after sr probe can be received
 by udev and actively discard events before sr probe.
