Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 01/31] net: split out SIOCDEVPRIVATE handling from dev_ioctl
Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2021 15:44:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210727134517.1384504-2-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210727134517.1384504-1-arnd@kernel.org>
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl commands are mainly used in really old
drivers, and they have a number of problems:
- They hide behind the normal .ndo_do_ioctl function that
is also used for other things in modern drivers, so it's
hard to spot a driver that actually uses one of these
- Since drivers use a number different calling conventions,
it is impossible to support compat mode for them in
a generic way.
- With all drivers using the same 16 commands codes, there
is no way to introspect the data being passed through
things like strace.
Add a new net_device_ops callback pointer, to address the
first two of these. Separating them from .ndo_do_ioctl
makes it easy to grep for drivers with a .ndo_siocdevprivate
callback, and the unwieldy name hopefully makes it easier
to spot in code review.
By passing the ifreq structure and the ifr_data pointer
separately, it is no longer necessary to overload these,
and the driver can use either one for a given command.
