mutter. I don't read linux-fsdevel much.

OK, here's what I have, with a somewhat reworked changelog.

I assumed that "Josef" == josef@...hat.com.

Arnd, could you please check that it still looks OK?

Thanks.


From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@...hat.com>

The FIEMAP_IOC_FIEMAP mapping ioctl was missing a 32-bit compat handler,
which means that 32-bit suerspace on 64-bit kernels cannot use this ioctl
command.

The structure is nicely aligned, padded, and sized, so it is just this
simple.

Tested w/ 32-bit ioctl tester (from Josef) on a 64-bit kernel on ext4.
