Subject: [PATCH] block: Restore tape support
Date: Sun,  9 Dec 2018 19:08:14 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181210030814.13235-1-bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)

According to what I found in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201935 patch "block: Clear
kernel memory before copying to user" broke tape access. Hence revert
that patch.

Reported-by: Todd Aiken <taiken@mvtech.ca>
Fixes: f3587d76da05 ("block: Clear kernel memory before copying to user") # v4.20-rc2
