Reproducing it is simple: # pktsetup 1 /dev/cdrom Specifically, the NULL dereference happens inside bdev_get_queue(bdev), which is supposed to return bdev->bd_disk->queue, but in this case bdev->bd_disk is NULL. If I revert this commit the mapping is added correctly (tested on 4.14.10, but there haven't been any changes to pktcdvd.c and bdev_get_queue() in 4.15-rc5). Maciej
