From c6ef7fd40eddad38a8825cbd6bb2ce8bdbba88f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Gortmaker Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2017 15:08:15 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] vfio-mdev: fix non-standard ioctl return val causing i386 build fail MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit What appears to be a copy and paste error from the line above gets the ioctl a ssize_t return value instead of the traditional "int". The associated sample code used "long" which meant it would compile for x86-64 but not i386, with the latter failing as follows: CC [M] samples/vfio-mdev/mtty.o samples/vfio-mdev/mtty.c:1418:20: error: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] .ioctl = mtty_ioctl, ^ samples/vfio-mdev/mtty.c:1418:20: note: (near initialization for ‘mdev_fops.ioctl’) cc1: some warnings being treated as errors Since in this case, vfio is working with struct file_operations; as such: long (*unlocked_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long); long (*compat_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long); ...and so here we just standardize on long vs. the normal int that user space typically sees and documents as per "man ioctl" and similar. Fixes: 9d1a546c53b4 ("docs: Sample driver to demonstrate how to use Mediated device framework.")
