4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxx> commit 882d4171a8950646413b1a3cbe0e4a6a612fe82e upstream. Call bdev_get_queue(bdev) after bdev->bd_disk has been initialized instead of just before that pointer has been initialized. This patch avoids that the following command pktsetup 1 /dev/sr0 triggers the following kernel crash: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000548 IP: pkt_setup_dev+0x2db/0x670 [pktcdvd] CPU: 2 PID: 724 Comm: pktsetup Not tainted 4.15.0-rc4-dbg+ #1 Call Trace: pkt_ctl_ioctl+0xce/0x1c0 [pktcdvd] do_vfs_ioctl+0x8e/0x670 SyS_ioctl+0x3c/0x70 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x23/0x9a Reported-by: Maciej S.
