Hi,
I'm reply to this patch largely to make sure I get the right people
.....
This test is always true when CONFIG_X86_32 is set, as that forces
in_ia32_syscall() to true.
However we might not be in a syscall at all - we might be running a
kernel thread which is always in 64 mode.
Every other implementation of in_compat_syscall() that I found is
dependant on a thread flag or syscall register flag, and so returns
"false" in a kernel thread.
Might something like this be appropriate?
diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h

This came up in the (no out-of-tree) lustre filesystem where some code
needs to assume 32-bit mode in X86_32 syscalls, and 64-bit mode in kernel
threads.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
