gcc is not convinced that the floppy.c ioctl has sufficient bound checks:
In function `copy_from_user',
inlined from `fd_copyin' at drivers/block/floppy.c:3080,
inlined from `fd_ioctl' at drivers/block/floppy.c:3503:
arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_32.h:211:
warning: call to `copy_from_user_overflow' declared with attribute
warning: copy_from_user buffer size is not provably correct
And frankly, as a human I have a hard time proving the same more or less
(the size comes from the ioctl argument. humpf. maybe. the code isn't
very nice)
This patch adds an explicit check to make 100% sure it's safe, better than
finding out later that there indeed was a gap.
