I don't see what is different with that implementation. All f2fs_compat_ioctl
does is change cmd to the plain-IOC equivalent and call f2fs_ioctl with the
same arg (compat_ptr merely causes a cast to void* and back, which AFAIK is a
noop on 64-bit?). Am I missing something? I could try to just imitate it, but
I'd rather know what is significant/going on to ensure I don't waste your time
with code I don't even properly understand myself.
Perhaps by coincidence, the patch does at least in practice work (although at
least `btrfs send` appears to be broken still, and I'm at a loss for how to
approach fixing that).
