Indeed. In my test setup I didn't have a driver using both. So let's think a little more what checks we want. The original intention (pre-patch) was that without an ioctl entry we'd skip the hash table lookup and skip right to trying the few standard ioctls. So with ->compat_ioctl we should try that one first, then checking for either ->ioctl or ->unlocked_ioctl beeing there. Like the patch below (this time it's actually untested because all my 64bit machines are in use): --- linux-2.6.10-mm2.orig/fs/compat.c 2005-01-06 11:40:18.831900000 +0100 +++ linux-2.6.10-mm2/fs/compat.c 2005-01-06 16:36:17.340977664 +0100 @@ -436,14 +436,15 @@ if (!filp) goto out; - if (!filp->f_op) { - if (!filp->f_op->ioctl) - goto do_ioctl; - } else if (filp->f_op->compat_ioctl) { + if (filp->f_op && filp->f_op->compat_ioctl) { error = filp->f_op->compat_ioctl(filp, cmd, arg); goto out_fput; } + if (!filp->f_op || + (!filp->f_op->ioctl && !filp->f_op->unlocked_ioctl)) + goto do_ioctl; + down_read(&ioctl32_sem); for (t = ioctl32_hash_table[ioctl32_hash(cmd)]; t; t = t->next) { if (t->cmd == cmd) > > > MST ---end quoted text--- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
