OK, ENOIOCTLCMD is better than EINVAL but for the case of NULL argument for correct ioctl command you should keep the check so that we don't fault and kill the caller instead of returning EINVAL as we used to...

Currently, lsattr for instance in udf directory gives "udf: Invalid argument While reading flags on ..." This patch removes argument testing and returns -ENOIOCTLCMD when command is unknown to have more accurate message like this: "Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on ..." If arg is NULL, we return specific operation error anyway. Signed-off-by: Fabian Frederick <fabf@skynet.be> --- fs/udf/file.c | 8 ++------ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)
