Add compat ioctl support to dma-buf. This lets one to use DMA_BUF_IOCTL_SYNC ioctl from 32bit application on 64bit kernel. Data structures for both 32 and 64bit modes are same, so there is no need for additional translation
layer.

Well I might be wrong, but IIRC compat_ioctl was just optional and if not specified unlocked_ioctl was called instead.

If that is true your patch wouldn't have any effect at all.

Well, then why I got -ENOTTY in the 32bit test app for this ioctl on 64bit ARM64 kernel without this patch?


I've checked in fs/compat_ioctl.c, I see no fallback in COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE3,
so one has to provide compat_ioctl callback to have ioctl working with 32bit
apps.
