[Bug 890592] Re: CD drive eject button does not work

[sghpunk]

I use xubuntu 12.04 with 3.5.0-22 kernel

$ uname -a
Linux Acer 3.5.0-22-generic #34~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 9 21:45:40 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I found that kernel polling does not work with some optical drives, even if I do:
echo 2000 > /sys/block/sr?/events_poll_msecs
echo 2000 > /sys/module/block/parameters/events_dfl_poll_msecs

I can't eject my embedded notebook drive (ID_SERIAL=HL-DT-STDVDRAM_GT31N_KZLAC5D2847) with eject button, but eject /dev/sr0 is working, and eject -i 0 /dev/sr0 is working to.
And no udev events is generated while pressing eject button.

I test this with external USB drive to (ID_SERIAL=TS8XDVDR_Transcend_613143333435363738394B4C-0:0).
But with this drive eject button is working, and udev events is generated.

Ok, but I found more. With those external USB drive eject button stops
working while disk is mounted. And while disk is mounted udev receive no
eject event from drive eject button. But if I unmount disk by hands
after pressing drive eject button, drive ejects itself (and udev receive
change event). Seems like while disk is mounted, kernel eject event is
waits in some kind of queue.

For workaround I was trying to restore udisks polling (11.04 behavior)
writing some udev rules to set ATTR{events_poll_msecs}="-1"  and disable
tray locking on my devices. It's working, udisks polling is enabled, but
again while disk is mounted I can eject it with drive eject button, but
no udisks/udev events is generated, and no unmount is performed, I have
to unmount it manually.

I even cannot enable old udisks behavior that was working fine for me in
11.04.

Fix it please! Two years is passed.

  CD drive eject button does not work

Bug description:
  PROBLEM

  On my laptop, pressing the hardware "eject" button on the DVD drive
  will pop out the disc, but it will still be treated as mounted by
  Nautilus. If I then put in another disc, it will still think that the
  files from the previous disc are there, as though it had not been
  ejected. This produces an error when I try to manipulate those files.

  I can't access the files from the new disc until I eject the old one
  using the button on Nautilus.

  HOW TO REPRODUCE

  1. Put a CD or DVD in the drive, close it, and let Nautilus mount it.
  2. Eject it using the hardware eject key.
  3. Put in a new CD or DVD.

  EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

  Nautilus will know when I ejected a disc.
