Re: 2.6.4-mm1

[Mickael Marchand <marchand@kde.org>]

Hi,

on my config (opteron box) I need this patch to get it compiled :

--- fs/compat_ioctl.c.orig      2004-03-11 08:57:49.472074584 +0000
+++ fs/compat_ioctl.c   2004-03-11 08:57:01.770326352 +0000
@@ -1604,7 +1604,7 @@
         * To have permissions to do most of the vt ioctls, we either have
         * to be the owner of the tty, or super-user.
         */
-       if (current->tty == tty || capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN))
+       if (current->signal->tty == tty || capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN))
                return 1;
        return 0;
 }

I guess it's been forgotten in some other patch. (and i hope it's the good fix :)

while I am at it, I am running a 64 bits kernel with 32 bits debian testing and
it seems some ioctl conversion fails
that happened with all 2.6 I tried.
here is the relevant kernel messages part :
ioctl32(dmsetup:26199): Unknown cmd fd(3) cmd(c134fd00){01} arg(0804c0b0) on /dev/mapper/control
ioctl32(fsck.reiserfs:201): Unknown cmd fd(4) cmd(80081272){00} arg(ffffdab8) on /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4

Cheers,
Mik
