Hi all,

In looking at the report, I guess this patch should fix the issue, there's
a 3-byte hole in `struct compat_cdrom_generic_command`:

[PATCH v3] block/scsi-ioctl: Prevent kernel-infoleak in scsi_put_cdrom_generic_arg()
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200909095057.1214104-1-yepeilin.cs@xxxxxxxxx/

But I cannot verify it, since syzbot doesn't have a reproducer for it.
The patch adds a 3-byte padding field to `struct
compat_cdrom_generic_command`. It hasn't been accepted yet.
