I think this has already been addressed. But forwarding for sure.

The commit says

    Once upon a time net/socket.c:dev_ifsioc() used to handle SIOCSHWTSTAMP and
    SIOCSIFMAP.  These have different native and compat layout, so the format
    conversion had been needed.  In 2009 these two cases had been taken out,
    turning the rest into a convoluted way to calling sock_do_ioctl().  We copy
    compat structure into native one, call sock_do_ioctl() on that and copy
    the result back for the in/out ioctls.  No layout transformation anywhere,
    so we might as well just call sock_do_ioctl() and skip all the headache
with
    copying.

However there is one problem: 32-bit 'struct ifreq' and 64-bit 'struct ifreq'
are not the same size. The former is 32 bytes and the latter is 40 bytes. Thus,
if you place a 32-bit 'struct ifreq' immediately before an unmapped page and
try to pass it to one of these ioctls, the syscall fails with EFAULT due to
this commit.

Steps to reproduce:
Copy attached file to /tmp/test.c, then:
[roc@localhost-live ~]$ gcc -o /tmp/test /tmp/test.c && /tmp/test
Index: 1
[roc@localhost-live ~]$ gcc -m32 -o /tmp/test /tmp/test.c && /tmp/test
Failed SIOCGIFINDEX: Bad address
