thanks for your reply.
It works as expected.
is it going to be submitted?
Thanks,
Soohoon.

I don't think I am, but that's fine. I think I just moved the code

I hope it's ok for you to Cc this to a linux-ide and linux-kernel.

This actually looks like a security bug, as we are not supposed to leak
kernel stack data.

Out of these, the last one is the best. My preferred solution however would
be to move the handling of the ioctls in question (and maybe some others
while we're at it) into the driver that provides the call in the first place.
There is another problem: I don't think the code ever worked on big-endian
machines:
case ATA_IOC_GET_IO32:
spin_lock_irqsave(ap->lock, flags);
val = ata_ioc32(ap);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(ap->lock, flags);
if (copy_to_user(arg, &val, 1))
return -EFAULT;
return 0;
On little-endian machines, this copies the low byte of the 'int val'
variable, while on big-endian machines, it copies the high byte that
is always zero. In the hdparm source code, this gets copied into a
'static long parm' variable, which in turn means that when we first read
one 32-bit setting and then call ATA_IOC_GET_IO32 as part of the same
hdparm command line, the upper 24 or 56 bits (out of 32 or 64 respectively)
still contain the previous result.
>From what I can tell, the behavior of hdparm matches the behavior of
the old drivers/ide/ subsystem, and the compat ioctl handling works with
that, but the ioctls in drivers/ata/ suffer from both the compat_ioctl
problem and the problem on big-endian systems.
Both problems date back to the original commit that added ioctl support
in libata back in 2004 (linux-2.6.8).
Can you try out the patch below to see if that makes it work? If it
does, we probably want something like this backported to all stable
kernels, but I think we probably also want to clean this up a bit
more to avoid the 'get_fs()/set_fs()' hack in block/compat_ioctl.c.
