From 0478fe68685a428c71decc19abecd265a6d658dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 16:54:52 +0100 Subject: block: silently forbid sending any ioctl to a partition After the first few months, the message has not led to many bug reports. It's been almost five years now, and in practice the main source of it seems to be MTIOCGET that someone is using to detect tape devices. While we could whitelist it just like CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY, this patch just removes the message altogether. The patch also removes the "safe but not very useful" ioctl whitelist, as suggested by Christoph. I doubt anything is using most of those ioctls _in general_, let alone on a partition.
