https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205957 --- Comment #10 from Andreas Dilger (adilger.kernelbugzilla@xxxxxxxxx) --- IMHO, adding a new syscall for this is a lot of complexity that could be avoided. Using an ioctl() or fadvise() to set the "32-bitness" of the file descriptor would seem like a simpler implementation that could be handled directly by an ext4 patch rather than having to change every architecture just to pass this flag. Then, in the cases that QEMU is running in the confusing "I want 32-bit values returned from a 64-bit system call" mode, it would call the ioctl(fd, FS_IOC_32BITHASH) once before calling getdents64(fd, ...). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
