A lot of block drivers need only a trivial .compat_ioctl callback. Add a helper function that can be set as the callback pointer to only convert the argument using the compat_ptr() conversion and otherwise assume all input and output data is compatible, or handled using in_compat_syscall() checks. This mirrors the compat_ptr_ioctl() helper function used in character devices. Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
