Will do. Let's wait whether Jeroen can confirm that it is indeed the
problem.

I have my first patch attempt pending unreviewed since 8 and 4 weeks.

  [PATCH v2 0/2] Fix automatic CD tray loading for data reading via sr
  Message-Id: <20201006094026.1730-1-scdbackup@gmx.net>
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20201006094026.1730-1-scdbackup@gmx.net/T/#t

So if there is interest already for this one, i'd be glad to see some
support for the cause and reviews of my way to resolve it.
I am a noob with kernel community interaction. kernelnewbies.org helped
me with getting the tools together. But they had few advise about catching
the attention of linux-scsi, not to think of LKML.

Other change sets which i prepared since then:

  [PATCH 0/4] Attribute size 0 to sr device if no readable medium is loaded
  [PATCH 0/1] isofs: prevent file time rollover after year 2038
  [PATCH 0/1] isofs: truncate oversized Rock Ridge names to 255 bytes
  [PATCH 0/4] Make mount -t iso9660 -o session=N work on DVD and BD media
              up to N=168
  [PATCH 0/3] Introduce a new ioctl CDROM_SIMUL_CHANGE for burn programs

In the sum fixes for 20 years of bitrot and one wish of an old programmer
who feels discriminated by ioctl(BLKRRPART) not working with /dev/sr.


Have a nice day :)
