Fwiw, we do support extensible ioctls since they encode the size. Take a
look at kernel/seccomp.c. It's a clean extensible interface built on top
of the copy_struct_from_user() pattern we added for system calls
(openat(), clone3() etc.):
static long seccomp_notify_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd,
unsigned long arg)
{
struct seccomp_filter *filter = file->private_data;
void __user *buf = (void __user *)arg;
/* Fixed-size ioctls */
switch (cmd) {
case SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_RECV:
return seccomp_notify_recv(filter, buf);
case SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SEND:
return seccomp_notify_send(filter, buf);
case SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ID_VALID_WRONG_DIR:
case SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ID_VALID:
return seccomp_notify_id_valid(filter, buf);
case SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_SET_FLAGS:
return seccomp_notify_set_flags(filter, arg);
}
/* Extensible Argument ioctls */
#define EA_IOCTL(cmd) ((cmd) & ~(IOC_INOUT | IOCSIZE_MASK))
switch (EA_IOCTL(cmd)) {
case EA_IOCTL(SECCOMP_IOCTL_NOTIF_ADDFD):
return seccomp_notify_addfd(filter, buf, _IOC_SIZE(cmd));
default:
return -EINVAL;
}
}
static long seccomp_notify_addfd(struct seccomp_filter *filter,
struct seccomp_notif_addfd __user *uaddfd,
unsigned int size)
{
struct seccomp_notif_addfd addfd;
struct seccomp_knotif *knotif;
struct seccomp_kaddfd kaddfd;
int ret;
BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(addfd) < SECCOMP_NOTIFY_ADDFD_SIZE_VER0);
BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(addfd) != SECCOMP_NOTIFY_ADDFD_SIZE_LATEST);
if (size < SECCOMP_NOTIFY_ADDFD_SIZE_VER0 || size >= PAGE_SIZE)
return -EINVAL;
ret = copy_struct_from_user(&addfd, sizeof(addfd), uaddfd, size);
if (ret)
return ret;
