      [PATCH] Fix filp being passed through raw ioctl handler · e72022e1
      Stephen Tweedie 提交于
      Don't pass meaningless file handles to block device ioctls.
      
      The recent raw IO ioctl-passthrough fix started passing the raw file
      handle into the block device ioctl handler.  That's unlikely to be
      useful, as the file handle is actually open on a character-mode raw
      device, not a block device, so dereferencing it is not going to yield
      useful results to a block device ioctl handler.
      
      Previously we just passed NULL; also not a value that can usefully
      be dereferenced, but at least if it does happen, we'll oops instead of
      silently pretending that the file is a block device, so NULL is the more
      defensive option here.  This patch reverts to that behaviour.
      
      Noticed by Al Viro.
