I'm sorry but among all the numbers this one was probably the least
fortunate choice because it collides with TCGETS on most of architectures.
Hmm, that is unfortunate.
For example, this is how strace output would look like when
TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER support 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 it would be great if you could change
TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER 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.
Well, it may not be too late to update this as it hasn't been
officially released in 6.10 yet. It's still only in the -rc and the
library doesn't rely on this yet (I've been holding off until 6.10 was
officially released before releasing the library that uses it).
I can send a patch this week to update it. Or feel free to send a patch
yourself.
You need to reserve an unused ioctl Code and Seq# range within:
Documentation/userspace-api/ioctl/ioctl-number.rst
Otherwise this duplicate will confuse all system call instrumentation
tooling.
Thanks,
Mathieu
