Vad happened with the patch below. It was ''signed off'' more than half
a year ago, and it is not in any of the latest kernel yet.
I ask, because I spend a week debugging the 'dvbloopback' driver, which
uses '2' as a private ioctl for a read command. Not easy to find.
Can a driver not have private ioctls?
Should this be fixed in the driver?, I have now RESERVED the value 2 in
the driver. But this does not
guarantee that someone invents FIGETBSZ_V2 and assigned the value 3 to it.
Regards
/Anders
FIGETBSZ has an ioctl number of _IO(0x00,2) == 2, which can conflict
with device driver ioctls. Let's avoid the potential for problems by
only honoring the ioctl number for files where this ioctl is likely
going to be useful: for regular files and directories
Thanks to Johannes Stezenbach for pointing this consequence of commit
19ba0559.
