[uml-devel] [PATCH] UML: BLKGETSIZE takes a long, not an int

[uml-devel] [PATCH] UML: BLKGETSIZE takes a long, not an int

[Nicolas George]

The BLKGETSIZE ioctl expects a pointer to a long, os_file_size was providing
an int. Therefore, ubd access to host block devices caused a segmentation
fault on 64 bits systems.

Here is the hopefully correct patch, against current git.
