[PATCH] staging: android: ashmem: add 32bit compat support

[Serban Constantinescu]

Hi all,

As disussed with the Android kernel team I am resubmitting this patch
without any modifications to the structure exchanged between kernel and
userspace.

The patch has been tested on 32(VExpress 4xA9) and 64bit platforms(RTSMv8)
running 32bit Android userspace and 64bit Linux + ashmem unit tests.

Thanks for your help,
Serban Constantinescu

[PATCH] staging: android: ashmem: Add support for 32bit ashmem calls in a 64bit kernel

[Serban Constantinescu]

Android's shared memory subsystem, Ashmem, does not support calls from a
32bit userspace in a 64 bit kernel. This patch adds support for syscalls
coming from a 32bit userspace in a 64bit kernel.

The patch has been successfully tested on ARMv8 AEM(64bit
platform model) and Versatile Express A9(32bit platform).

This patch breaks the build on my machine:
drivers/staging/android/ashmem.c: In function ‘compat_ashmem_ioctl’:
drivers/staging/android/ashmem.c:711:7: error: ‘compat_size_t’ undeclared (first use in this function)
drivers/staging/android/ashmem.c:711:7: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

so of course, I can't take it :(

Ok, what has changed from your previous version that I rejected that is
going to actually allow this to build?

Hint, you gotta tell me what version of the patch this is, and what
changed, otherwise I'll just assume this is a resend of the previous
patch and go ahead and delete it from my queue.

In fact, I might as well do that, now deleted :)

I had to add <linux/compat.h> for a successful build on x86_64. The 
attached hunk is the only change added.

Sorry - same patch as before, the one that had John and Arve's ack, plus 
the above hunk.

Ok, please say that.  I deal with over 7000 patches a year, there is no
way I can remember what the difference is between this one, and the
previous one I rejected.  Especially as I reviewed about 30 patches
inbetween the time I rejected it and you sent this update.

That is not what I meant, please go read Section 2 of the

When building for x86_64 we need <linux/compat.h>. Sorry I forgot it, 
should build fine now.

I'll need some acks or signed-off-by: on the patch from them, before I
can take this patch, thanks.

Oh, it's also too late for 3.9, 3.10 is the soonest this can go in, just
to set your expectations properly.
