Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

The only ioctls that drbdadm explicitly uses are from
drbdadm_main.c: get_ifreq(), SIOCGIFCONF and SIOCGIFFLAGS,
on a socketfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP).

I have no idea why that would trigger your BUG.

It may or may not be related to drbdadm being "spawned" from kernel
space via call_usermodehelper().
