From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 50c2936634bcb1db78a8ca63249236810c11a80f ] Digging through the ioctls with Al because of the previous patches, we found that on 64-bit decnet's dn_dev_ioctl() is wrong, because struct ifreq::ifr_ifru is actually 24 bytes (not 16 as expected from struct sockaddr) due to the ifru_map and ifru_settings members. Clearly, decnet expects the ioctl to be called with a struct like struct ifreq_dn { char ifr_name[IFNAMSIZ]; struct sockaddr_dn ifr_addr; }; since it does struct ifreq *ifr = ...; struct sockaddr_dn *sdn = (struct sockaddr_dn *)&ifr->ifr_addr; This means that DN_IFREQ_SIZE is too big for what it wants on 64-bit, as it is sizeof(struct ifreq) - sizeof(struct sockaddr) + sizeof(struct sockaddr_dn) This assumes that sizeof(struct sockaddr) is the size of ifr_ifru but that isn't true. Fix this to use offsetof(struct ifreq, ifr_ifru). This indeed doesn't really matter much - the result is that we copy in/out 8 bytes more than we should on 64-bit platforms. In case the "struct ifreq_dn" lands just on the end of a page though it might lead to faults. As far as I can tell, it has been like this forever, so it seems very likely that nobody cares.
