The function dasd_ro_store() calls set_disk_ro() to set the device in question read-only. Since set_disk_ro() might sleep, we can't call it while holding a lock. However, we also can't simply check if the device, block, and gdp references are valid before we call set_disk_ro() because an offline processing might have been started in the meanwhile which will destroy those references. In order to reliably call set_disk_ro() we have to ensure several things: - Still check validity of the mentioned references but additionally check if offline processing is running and bail out accordingly. Also, do this while holding the device lock. - To ensure that the block device is still safe after the lock, increase the open_count while still holding the device lock.
