The definitions for these 2 ioctls have been reversed: "get" is marked
as a write ioctl and "set" is marked as a read ioctl. Moreover, since
these are now part of the public kernel interface they can never be
fixed because fixing them might break userspace applications compiled
with the older headers.
Since the fuse module strictly enforces the ioctl encodings, it will
reject any attempt by the fuse server to correctly implement these
ioctls. Instead, check if the process is trying to make one of these
ioctls and mark it unrestricted. This will allow the server to fix the
encoding by reading/writing the correct data.
