(Removed some Cc: recipients from the list.)

I'm not very sure, but I think this one is also a false positive.

Here Smatch is complaining about a linked list called `my_raw_cmd`
defined in raw_cmd_ioctl():

drivers/block/floppy.c:3249:

	ret = raw_cmd_copyin(cmd, param, &my_raw_cmd);

In raw_cmd_copyin(), each element of the linked list is allocated by
kmalloc() then copied from user:

drivers/block/floppy.c:3180:

loop:
	ptr = kmalloc(sizeof(struct floppy_raw_cmd), GFP_KERNEL);
	      ^^^^^^^
	if (!ptr)
		return -ENOMEM;
	*rcmd = ptr;
	ret = copy_from_user(ptr, param, sizeof(*ptr));
	      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I think copy_from_user() is filling in the paddings inside `struct
floppy_raw_cmd`?

Thank you,
