[PATCH] remove error message on illegal ioctl

From: Robert Love (rml@tech9.net)
Date: Fri Dec 13 2002 - 21:22:22 EST


This error message is uber annoying and needs to go. Non-root can flood
the console with this junk on invalid SCSI CD-ROM ioctl(),
and that is exactly what gnome-cd does.

An illegal ioctl() returns an error to the program. That is
sufficient - we do not need KERN_ERROR warnings all over the place.
Especially when any user can cause them at any rate.

This patch, against 2.5.51, removes the message. Linus, please
apply.
