From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2002 08:59:23 +0100 What's the plan to attack 32-bit ioctls? ... but I guess that's going to cause objections? Yes, a huge dragon to slay for sure. To be honest, I'm happy with what's possible right now. SIOCDEVPRIVATE was the biggest problem and that can be gradually phased out. Let's attack the easy stuff first, then we can retry finding a nicer solution to the ioctl bits. There are places where real work is needed, for example emulation of drivers/usb/core/devio.c is nearly impossible without adding some code to devio.c It keeps around user pointers, and doesn't write to the area during that syscall but at some later time as the result of another system call. - 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/ | |||||||||
