Should I take these as patches, or through Jens/David/Who?
I'll happily take them as patches, but I'd also like to hear
confirmation from the people who saw the lock-up that it's gone now..

I ACK'd the IDE part so that this can get integrated either directly or via Jens's tree. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I'm pulling them in now, with the elevator patch referenced in the IO scheduler switch email. I've verified that it fixes the ide-cd bug for me.

Jens, Tejun, I was never seeing a lockup, just the stream of events, but I applied the two patches on top of mainline (584f790467 from yesterday) and do not see any issues on the system where I first noticed the constant events [1].

DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE is used for both userland visible event and internal event for revalidation of removeable devices. Some legacy drivers don't implement proper event detection and continuously generate events under certain circumstances. For example, ide-cd generates media changed continuously if there's no media in the drive, which can lead to infinite loop of events jumping back and forth between the driver and userland event handler. This patch updates disk event infrastructure such that it never propagates events not listed in disk->events to userland. Those events are processed the same for internal purposes but uevent generation is suppressed. This also ensures that userland only gets events which are advertised in the @events sysfs node lowering risk of confusion.

I tried an alternate patch to implement proper check_events() for ide-cd but given the deprecated status of ide and the existence of fallback userland event polling, this minimal approach seems better.
