drivers/block/floppy.c:3132 raw_cmd_copyout() warn: check that 'cmd' doesn't leak information (struct has a hole after 'flags')

(Removed some Cc: recipients from the list.)

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

No, it's a potential bug.  You're over thinking what Smatch is
complaining about.  Arnd is right.

  3123  static int raw_cmd_copyout(int cmd, void __user *param,
  3124                                    struct floppy_raw_cmd *ptr)
  3125  {
  3126          int ret;
  3127  
  3128          while (ptr) {
  3129                  struct floppy_raw_cmd cmd = *ptr;
                                              ^^^^^^^^^^
The compiler can either do this assignment as an memcpy() or as a
series of struct member assignments.  So the assignment can leave the
struct hole uninitialized.

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:
