ioctl() still problem w/2.5.18

[A Guy Called Tyketto]

        I posted this before with 2.5.8 - 2.5.16 before, but the problem still
exists in 2.5.18, so I'll repost.

        In 2.5.16, have any restrictions been placed on ioctl()? With 2.5.16,
a non-root user is unable to use /dev/cdrom with an ide cd, to play audio cds.
An strace of workbone shows this:

open("/dev/cdrom", O_RDONLY)            = 3
ioctl(3, CDROMSUBCHNL, 0xbfffe814)      = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)  
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
ioctl(0, TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_START, {B38400 opost isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(0, TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig -icanon -echo ...}) = 0
write(1, "\n", 1
)                       = 1
ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_START, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
ioctl(0, TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_DFL}, {SIG_IGN}, 8) = 0
munmap(0x40017000, 4096)                = 0
_exit(0)                                = ?

        Workbone is supposed to access /dev/cdrom, and then wait for user 
input from the number pad, to play the cd. the following strace from workbone 
in 2.5.7 shows this working properly:

write(1, "\33[10m\n", 6
) = 55                                               
open("/dev/cdrom", O_RDONLY)            = 3  "..., 55
ioctl(3, CDROMSUBCHNL, 0xbfffe654)      = 0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ioctl(3, CDROMREADTOCHDR, 0xbfffe626)   = 0
ioctl(3, CDROMREADTOCENTRY, 0xbfffe628) = 0
ioctl(3, CDROMREADTOCENTRY, 0xbfffe628) = 0
ioctl(3, CDROMREADTOCENTRY, 0xbfffe628) = 0
ioctl(3, CDROMREADTOCENTRY, 0xbfffe628) = 0
ioctl(3, CDROMREADTOCENTRY, 0xbfffe628) = 0
ioctl(3, CDROMREADTOCENTRY, 0xbfffe628) = 0
ioctl(3, CDROMREADTOCENTRY, 0xbfffe628) = 0
ioctl(3, CDROMREADTOCENTRY, 0xbfffe628) = 0
ioctl(3, CDROMREADTOCENTRY, 0xbfffe628) = 0
ioctl(3, CDROMREADTOCENTRY, 0xbfffe628) = 0
ioctl(3, CDROMREADTOCENTRY, 0xbfffe628) = 0
rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_IGN}, {SIG_DFL}, 8) = 0
ioctl(0, TCGETS, {B38400 opost isig icanon echo ...}) = 0

        This worked as root, and with  a kernel <= 2.5.13. I didn't try this 
with 2.5.14 or 2.5.15.

        since open("/dev/cdrom", O_RDONLY) is returning as it should, It would 
be safe to assume that the ioctl() call is causing the problem. /dev/cdrom has 
permissions 0666 applied to it.

                                                        BL.
