Why does it matter that the ioctl() has the size of the struct embedded
within? Afaik, the kernel itself doesn't do anything with that size. It
merely checks that the size is not pathological and it does so at
compile time.
#ifdef __CHECKER__
#define _IOC_TYPECHECK(t) (sizeof(t))
#else
/* provoke compile error for invalid uses of size argument */
extern unsigned int __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC;
#define _IOC_TYPECHECK(t) \
((sizeof(t) == sizeof(t[1]) && \
sizeof(t) < (1 << _IOC_SIZEBITS)) ? \
sizeof(t) : __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC)
#endif
The size itself is not verified at runtime. copy_struct_from_user()
still makes sense at least if we're going to allow expanding the struct
in the future.
Leaving that aside, the proposed direction here seems to mean that any
change to the struct itself will immediately mean a new ioctl() but
afaict, that also means a new struct. Since when you simply extend the
struct for the sake of the new ioctl you also change the size for the
ioctl.
Sure, you can simply treat the struct coming through the old ioctl as
being "capped" by e.g. hiding the size as suggested but then the gain
by having two separate ioctls is 0 compared to simply versioning the
struct with an explicit size member since the size encoded in the ioctl
and the actual size of the struct don't line up anymore which is the
only plus I can see for relying on _IOC_SIZE(). All this manages to do
then is to make it more annoying for userspace since they now need to
maintain multiple ioctls(). And if you have - however unlikely - say
three different ioctls all to be used with a different struct size of
the same struct I now need to know which ioctl() goes with which size of
the struct (I guess you could append the size to the ioctl name?
*shudder*). If you have the size in the struct itself you don't need to
care about any of that.
Maybe I'm not making sense or I misunderstand what's going on though.
