[RFC / BUG] mtd: provide proper 32/64-bit compat_ioctl() support for BLKPG

From: Brian Norris
Date: Fri Aug 28 2015 - 22:13:35 EST


After a bit of poking around wondering why my 32-bit user-space can't
seem to send a proper ioctl(BLKPG) to an MTD on my 64-bit kernel
(ARM64), I noticed that struct blkpg_ioctl_arg is actually pretty
unsuitable for use in the ioctl() ABI, due to its use of raw pointers,
and its lack of alignment/packing restrictions (32-bit arch'es tend to
pack the 4 fields into 4 32-bit words, whereas 64-bit arch'es would add
padding after the third int, and make this 6 32-bit words).

Anyway, this means BLKPG deserves some special compat_ioctl handling. Do
the conversion in a small shim for MTD.

The same bug applies to block/ioctl.c, but I wanted to get some comments
first. I can send a non-RFC with the same approach for the block
subsystem. But then: which tree should it go in?

Tested only on MTD, with an ARM32 user space on an ARM64 kernel.
