You should probably include rusty as he's collecting the patches
for the virtio guest drivers.

Also can you send the patch inline next time? That makes quoting it for
review a lot easier.

This looks functionally correct, but pretty far from normal kernel coding
style.  I'd envision something like this instead:

/*
 * IDE-compatible identify ioctl.
 *
 * Currenlyt only returns the serial number and leaves all other fields
 * zero.
 */
static int virtblk_identity(struct gendisk *disk, void *argp)
{
	struct virtio_blk *vblk = disk->private_data;
	u16 *id;
	int error = -ENOMEM;

	id = kzalloc(ATA_ID_WORDS, GFP_KERNEL)
	if (!id)
		goto out;

	error = virtio_config_buf(vblk->vdev, VIRTIO_BLK_F_SN,
				  offsetof(struct virtio_blk_config, serial),
				  &id[ATA_ID_SERNO], ATA_ID_SERNO_LEN);
	if (error)
		goto out_kfree;

	if (copy_to_user(argp, id, ATA_ID_WORDS))
		error = -EFAULT;

out_kfree:
	kfree(id);
out:
	return error;
}


static int virtblk_ioctl(struct block_device *bdev, fmode_t mode,
			 unsigned cmd, unsigned long arg)
{
	struct gendisk *disk = bdev->bd_disk;
	void __user *argp = (void __user *arg);

	switch (cmd) {
	case HDIO_GET_IDENTITY:
		return virtblk_identity(disk, argp);
	default:
		return scsi_cmd_ioctl(disk->queue, disk, mode, cmd, argp);
	}
}

Btw, thinking about it the rest of the information in the ioctl should
probably be filled up with faked data, similar to how we do it for
the ide emulation inside qemu.

Yes.  It *does* help to cc the maintainer if you want your patches applied :)

And I particularly love untested code like this!

Doesn't ATA_ID_WORDS seem like a strange name for a number of bytes?

What's this *for* BTW?
Rusty.

I tend to avoid 'goto's.

Doing so crossed my mind but thought it may be better to
start here and provide data on an as-needed basis.  But
as you point out there is precedent (and likely reason)
for hw/ide.c:ide_identify() doing as such.  I don't have
a strong bias either way.  Comments from others?

Agreed.  I've done so to the extent it makes sense
in the case of the more generic fields.  A fair
amount of the identify information being generated
by hw/ide.c appears obsoleted.

Yes I caught that bug in the rework as well.

Sorry -- I assumed you were on either list.
Please see patch to follow.
