Subject: btrfs: fix btrfs_compat_ioctl failures on non-compat ioctls
From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@xxxxxxxx>
commit 2a362249187a8d0f6d942d6e1d763d150a296f47 upstream.
Commit 4c63c2454ef incorrectly assumed that returning -ENOIOCTLCMD would
cause the native ioctl to be called. The ->compat_ioctl callback is
expected to handle all ioctls, not just compat variants. As a result,
when using 32-bit userspace on 64-bit kernels, everything except those
three ioctls would return -ENOTTY.
Fixes: 4c63c2454ef ("btrfs: bugfix: handle FS_IOC32_{GETFLAGS,SETFLAGS,GETVERSION} in btrfs_ioctl")
