Subject[PATCH net-next v4 0/4] remove compat_alloc_user_space()
Date
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

This is the fourth version of my series, now spanning four patches
instead of two, with a new approach for handling struct ifreq
compatibility after I realized that my earlier approach introduces
additional problems.

The idea here is to always push down the compat conversion
deeper into the call stack: rather than pretending to be
native mode with a modified copy of the original data on
the user space stack, have the code that actually works on
the data understand the difference between native and compat
versions.

I have spent a long time looking at all drivers that implement
an ndo_do_ioctl callback to verify that my assumptions are
correct. This has led to a series of 29 additional patches
that I am not including here but will post separately, fixing
a number of bugs in SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctls, removing dead
code, and splitting ndo_do_ioctl into two new ndo callbacks
for private and ethernet specific commands.

The patches are identical to v3 that I sent a few weeks ago,
except this avoids the build failure when CONFIG_COMPAT is
disabled.

Changes in v4:
- build fix without CONFIG_INET
- build fix without CONFIG_COMPAT
- style fixes pointed out by hch

Changes in v3:
- complete rewrite of the series


Arnd Bergmann (4):
ethtool: improve compat ioctl handling
net: socket: rework SIOC?IFMAP ioctls
net: socket: simplify dev_ifconf handling
net: socket: rework compat_ifreq_ioctl()
