Hi Arnd,

would you please glance if this patch all-right?



From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
Subject: [PATCH] UBI: add ioctl compatibility

UBI ioctl's do not work when running 64-bit kernel and 32-bit
user-land. Fix this by adding ioctl translation etries to
fs/compat_ioctl.c

No, it's not. New ioctl numbers should not be added to fs/compat_ioctl.c
but rather to the file that implements the file operations (ubi/cdev.c).

The best way to do it would be to add functions that do

static long compat_vol_cdev_ioctl(struct file *file,
		unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
{
	int ret;

	arg = (unsigned long)compat_ptr(arg);

	lock_kernel();
	ret = vol_cdev_locked_ioctl(file->f_inode, file, cmd, arg);
	unlock_kernel();

	return ret;
}

static long vol_cdev_ioctl(struct file *file,
		unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
{
	int ret;

	lock_kernel();
	ret = vol_cdev_locked_ioctl(file->f_inode, file, cmd, arg);
	unlock_kernel();

	return ret;
}

and then use these two functions as your unlocked_ioctl and compat_ioctl
methods in file_operations.

If you can prove that you don't rely on the BKL, you can also drop the
{un,}lock_kernel() calls.

ULONG_IOCTL() would be wrong here, all your ioctl handlers expect
a pointer, not an unsigned long
