[RFC net-next 00/28] ndo_ioctl rework

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

 



From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

This series is some fallout from the series I sent earlier today to get
rid of compat_alloc_user_space() and copy_in_user().

I wanted to be sure I address all the ways that 'struct ifreq' is used
in device drivers through .ndo_do_ioctl, originally to prove that
my approach of changing the struct definition was correct, but then
I discarded that approach and went on anyway.

Roughly, the contents here are:

 - split out all the users of SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctls into a
   separate ndo_siocdevprivate callback, to better see what
   gets used where

 - fix compat handling for those drivers that pass data
   directly inside of 'ifreq' rather than using an indirect
   ifr_data pointer

 - remove unreachable code in ndo_ioctl handlers that relies
   on command codes we never pass into that, in particular
   for wireless drivers

 - split out the ethernet specific ioctls into yet another
   ndo_eth_ioctl callback, as these are by far the most
   common use of ndo_do_ioctl today. I considered splitting
   them further into MII and timestamp controls, but
   went with the simpler change for now.

At this point, only a few oddball things remain in ndo_do_ioctl:
bridge, bonding, wan and two socket protocols passing down
SIOCSIFADDR/SIOCGIFADDR. Again, these could all be moved into
other callbacks as well if desired.

Any suggestions on how to proceed? I think the ndo_siocdevprivate
change is the most interesting here, and I would like to get
that merged. For the wireless drivers, removing the old drivers
instead of just the dead code might be an alternative, depending
on whether anyone thinks there might still be users.

The ndo_eth_ioctl change was something I did because it seemed
easy, but I'm not super attached to it, and it could well be done
differently.

None of this is really tested beyond simple compile tests,
please review. All of it is also available as part of a larger
branch at
