Don't make it a question. In general any ioctl in any driver runnable on any 64bit architecture that has a 32bit compat layer should have compat support. Not having it is a bug. However the new standard way to do this is to not add new stuff into compat_ioctl.c, but define ->compat_ioctl entry points in the low level drivers (and ideally converted them to ->unlocked_ioctl too while you're at it) -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
