Actually, I'm not sure the upstream patch is totally correct :
# define IOCPARM_LEN(x) (_IOC_SIZE(x) < 256 ? 256 : _IOC_SIZE(x))
This ignores any non-zero _IOC_SIZE passed in if it is less than 256 ;
why would the programmer pass in a non-zero _IOC_SIZE if it is not the
size required ?
I'm going to make it:
# define IOCPARM_LEN(x) (_IOC_SIZE(x) ? _IOC_SIZE(x) : 256)
which allows people to pass in a non-zero _IOC_SIZE that is less than 256, and
will also fix the case where _IOC_SIZE is 0 and users depend on the default 256
length.
Any objections ?
