No, the purpose of compat_ptr_ioctl() is to make sure it works everywhere including s390. Even on s390 it tends to work most of the time, but for correctness the upper bit of a 32-bit pointer needs to be cleared, as compat_ptr_ioctl does, in case some application passes a pointer with that bit set. [IIRC, in the instruction pointer, the high bit is set, in data references it is ignored but usually cleared, but it may be left on for IP-relative address generation] Arnd _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
