From 1dae69bedeeca0b57e441eae491fbd38049c0b47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josef Bacik Date: Fri, 5 May 2017 22:25:18 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] nbd: ignore non-nbd ioctl's In testing we noticed that nbd would spew if you ran a fio job against the raw device itself. This is because fio calls a block device specific ioctl, however the block layer will first pass this back to the driver ioctl handler in case the driver wants to do something special. Since the device was setup using netlink this caused us to spew every time fio called this ioctl. Since we don't have special handling, just error out for any non-nbd specific ioctl's that come in. This fixes the spew.
