Call bdev_get_queue(bdev) after bdev->bd_disk has been initialized instead of just before that pointer has been initialized. This patch avoids that the following command pktsetup 1 /dev/sr0 triggers the following kernel crash: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000548 IP: pkt_setup_dev+0x2db/0x670 [pktcdvd] CPU: 2 PID: 724 Comm: pktsetup Not tainted 4.15.0-rc4-dbg+ #1 Call Trace: pkt_ctl_ioctl+0xce/0x1c0 [pktcdvd] do_vfs_ioctl+0x8e/0x670 SyS_ioctl+0x3c/0x70 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x23/0x9a Reported-by: Maciej S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
