I see, I didn't realize this line could cause the issue. Thank you for
pointing this out, I will do this then send a patch:

diff --git a/drivers/block/floppy.c b/drivers/block/floppy.c
index 09079aee8dc4..398c261fd174 100644

+++ b/drivers/block/floppy.c
@@ -3126,7 +3126,8 @@ static int raw_cmd_copyout(int cmd, void __user *param,
int ret;

while (ptr) {
- struct floppy_raw_cmd cmd = *ptr;
+ struct floppy_raw_cmd cmd;
+ memcpy(&cmd, ptr, sizeof(cmd));
cmd.next = NULL;
cmd.kernel_data = NULL;
ret = copy_to_user(param, &cmd, sizeof(cmd));
Thank you,
Peilin Ye
