Not sure how much that > really matters though. I'm sure it makes no difference in the end, but you are of course right that this is a bug. I've folded in a check now, and leaving that in place even after it is no longer needed: --- a/drivers/ide/ide-gd.c +++ b/drivers/ide/ide-gd.c @@ -348,6 +348,9 @@ static int ide_gd_compat_ioctl(struct block_device *bdev, fmode_t mode, struct ide_disk_obj *idkp = ide_drv_g(bdev->bd_disk, ide_disk_obj); ide_drive_t *drive = idkp->drive; + if (!drive->disk_ops->compat_ioctl) + return -ENOIOCTLCMD; + return drive->disk_ops->compat_ioctl(drive, bdev, mode, cmd, arg); } #endif I pushed out an updated signed tag with this change. Thanks for the continued careful review! Arnd
