[PATCH 0/2] Compat IOCTL handler for Media controller

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I noticed recently that we're missing the compat IOCTL handling in Media
controller API to support 32-bit binaries on 64-bit systems. I guess the
issue hasn't bitten anyone too badly since this hasn't been noticed earlier.

I can think of the reasons, too: Media controller is primarily used on
embedded systems that are still mainly 32-bit and the binaries are
targeted to those very systems specifically.

I noticed this since I'm currently running my 32-bit Debian system on a
64-bit kernel (I like to run 64-bit virtual machines but I'm lazy to
update; waiting for multiarch) so my native media-ctl binary just failed
to report anything about a UVC device Laurent kindly lended me.

The patchset implements separate compat ioctl handling and splits link
enumeration handling into 32-bit and 64-bit portions.

Many thanks to Laurent for testing these patches!
