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!
