[PATCH] uapi: change TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER to avoid collision with TCGETS

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

 



The number that was initially chosen for TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER,
unfortunately, collides with TCGETS on most of architectures.

For example, this is how strace output would look like when
support for this value of TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER is added:

$ strace -e ioctl stty
ioctl(0, TCGETS or TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER, {c_iflag=ICRNL|IXON, c_oflag=NL0|CR0|TAB0|BS0|VT0|FF0|OPOST|ONLCR,
+c_cflag=B38400|CS8|CREAD, c_lflag=ISIG|ICANON|ECHO|ECHOE|ECHOK|IEXTEN|ECHOCTL|ECHOKE, ...}) = 0

Even though ioctl numbers are inherently not unique, TCGETS
is a very traditional one, so let's change the value of
TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER a bit to avoid this collision.

Given that _IO('T', 0x1) is _IOC(_IOC_NONE, 'T', 0x1, 0),
something like _IOC(_IOC_NONE, 'T', 0x1, 0x1) should be OK.
