Subject: [PATCH] Only honor the FIGETBSZ ioctl for regular files, directories, and symlinks
Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2010 10:05:10 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1276524310-25812-1-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100614134252.GA22163@thunk.org>
FIGETBSZ has an ioctl number of _IO(0x00,2) == 2, which can conflict
with device driver ioctls. Let's avoid the potential for problems by
only honoring the ioctl number for files where this ioctl is likely
going to be useful: regular files, directories, and symlinks.
Thanks to Johannes Stezenbach for pointing this consequence of commit
19ba0559.
