Follow-up Comment #14, bug #32472 (project grub):

I have found some errors in code and provide a patch:

grub_util_biosdisk_flush():
grub_util_biosdisk_flush() tries to open device as RDONLY and flush() after
that. This will not work. As I think, it should not try to open closed device,
and second, it should not try to flush devices opened read-only. Also it
should check return values of fsync() and ioctl()

open_device():
In case of error during open, disk structure will be corrupted (data->dev
points to free()d location. data->fd close()d, but still > 0.)
(The same issue in second place of that function)

grub_util_biosdisk_close():
simplifiction for use new grub_util_biosdisk_flush().
