From 2c392a4f47f41b24432e6aa77bb5167d0bbb10c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas George Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 22:46:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] uml: use correct type in BLKGETSIZE ioctl I found a type mismatch in UML that makes host block devices unusable as ubd devices on x86_64 and other 64 bits systems (segfault of the mm subsystem): In block/ioctl.c, the following lines show that the BLKGETSIZE ioctl expects a pointer to a long: case BLKGETSIZE: if ((bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9) > ~0UL) return -EFBIG; return put_ulong(arg, bdev->bd_inode->i_size >> 9); In arch/um/os-Linux/file.c, os_file_size calls it with an int. The ioctl_list man page should be fixed as well.
