Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: bugfix: handle FS_IOC32_{GETFLAGS,SETFLAGS,GETVERSION} in btrfs_ioctl

32-bit ioctl uses these rather than the regular FS_IOC_* versions. They can be
handled in btrfs using the same code. Without this, 32-bit {ch,ls}attr fail.

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree. Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
for how to do this properly.

Yes, but this has to be implemented in another way. See eg.

I don't see what is different with that implementation. All f2fs_compat_ioctl
does is change cmd to the plain-IOC equivalent and call f2fs_ioctl with the
same arg (compat_ptr merely causes a cast to void* and back, which AFAIK is a
noop on 64-bit?). Am I missing something? I could try to just imitate it, but
I'd rather know what is significant/going on to ensure I don't waste your time
with code I don't even properly understand myself.

Perhaps by coincidence, the patch does at least in practice work (although at
least `btrfs send` appears to be broken still, and I'm at a loss for how to
approach fixing that).

No, that's the idea. Add new calback for compat_ioctl, put it under
#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT and do the same number switch.

The 'receive' 32bit/64bit was broken due to size difference in the ioctl
structure that led to different ioctl. This is transparently fixed, see
BTRFS_IOC_SET_RECEIVED_SUBVOL_32 at the top of ioctl.c.

In what way is SEND broken? There are only u64/s64 members in
btrfs_ioctl_send_args, I don't see how this could break on 32/64
userspace/kernel.

The idea is to wrap it in a way that doesn't actually change any of the logic?
I'm not sure I understand still :(

# btrfs send -p home/initial/ home/20150514_1431573370/
At subvol home/20150514_1431573370/
ERROR: send ioctl failed with -25: Inappropriate ioctl for device

But I am stuck on 3.14.41 due to Linux being unstable in newer versions[1], so
maybe this is unrelated to 32-bit and already fixed in 4.0?
