I'd split this function into multiple pieces: the internal one that
just takes kernel pointers, and a wrapper for the ioctl
that copies the user space data into the kernel before calling
the second one.

Same here.

Can you add comments here to explain the control flow?
What exactly are we waiting for here? Does the completion
indicate that the remote side is done executing the code
and ready to do something else?

Shouldn't that session be allocated during open()?

Can you explain here what it means to have multiple 'users' for
a 'fastrpc_user' structure? Why are they all done at the same time?

Maybe always make the offset/len fields and others 64 bit?

Try to avoid the padding at the end of the structure,
if you can't, then add a __reserved member.

I'd also recommend avoiding nested structures and
unions. Add more commands if necessary.

This seems too complex for an ioctl argument, with
multiple levels of pointer indirections. I'd normally
try to make each ioctl argument either a scalar, or a
structure with only fixed-length members.

The way we did this in spufs was to set up a context
first with all the information it needed, and make the
actual context switch from host CPU to remote a very
simple operation that took as few arguments as possible,
in case of spu_run() only the instruction pointer and
the location of the return status.
