Are you sure you saw this in 2.0.x? I know this is currently possible under
2.1.x (this Oops is actually possible in all cdrom drivers using the Uniform
cdrom driver -- scsi and ide-cd included) and I must and _will_ fix this
before 2.2.0 is released. I already know what to do, but I just havn't
fixed it yet. I just need to add in a pre-ioctl and post-ioctl callback
to the low-level drivers so they can inc/dec the module use count. This will
also elegantly fix another problem with cdu31a -- the fact that we need to
ensure the drive is spun up before doing stuff. The way that is currently
done for cdu31a and sbpcd is an ugly hack.
I wasn't aware that the 2.0.x version of cdu31a (which doesn't use the
uniform cdrom driver) also had this problem (but then I havn't run 2.0.x
for about a year and I don't have one of these drives...). Could you
confirm the kernel version number for this part of your report?
