commit 233087ca06 upstream.
Minh Yuan reported a concurrency use-after-free issue in the floppy code
between raw_cmd_ioctl and seek_interrupt.
[ It turns out this has been around, and that others have reported the
KASAN splats over the years, but Minh Yuan had a reproducer for it and
so gets primary credit for reporting it for this fix - Linus ]
The problem is, this driver tends to break very easily and nowadays,
nobody is expected to use FDRAWCMD anyway since it was used to
manipulate non-standard formats. The risk of breaking the driver is
higher than the risk presented by this race, and accessing the device
requires privileges anyway.
Let's just add a config option to completely disable this ioctl and
leave it disabled by default. Distros shouldn't use it, and only those
running on antique hardware might need to enable it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
