[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/2] fix incorrect target ioctl numbers
Posted by Peter Maydell 6 years, 6 months ago
Some of our TARGET_* constant definitions for ioctls were
wrong because the ioctl number is based on the sizeof()
the type passed to the TARGET_IO* macros, and we were
passing a host type rather than a target type.
This was originally reported as a bug where the
FS_IOC_{GET,SET}FLAGS ioctls weren't working for 32-bit
arm guests on x86-64 hosts.

I did a quick audit of all the uses of the TARGET_IO* macros
in syscall_defs.h, and:
 * FS_IOC_GETFLAGS/SETFLAGS are indeed wrong
 * 3 ioctls to do with magtapes are also wrong
 * TARGET_FS_IOC_FIEMAP, TARGET_FICLONERANGE and
   TARGET_SOUND_MIXER_INFO take a host struct which
   is defined such that it's the same size for all archs
 * lots and lots of ioctls use 'int', which is OK as for
   us 'abi_int' is always 32 bits (it might have different
   alignment requirements, but they don't matter for this
   purpose)
 * TARGET_SIOCPGRP takes a pid_t, which is always 'int'

This patchset fixes the bugs in the first two bullet
points, and leaves everything else alone since it doesn't
actually manifest as wrong behaviour.

Patch 1 is tested by the LTP 'setxattrs3' test case.
There's no LTP test case for the magtape ioctls, so that
patch change is untested.
