Hi all,
This long patch series was motivated by backporting Jaedon's changes which add a proper ioctl compatibility layer for 32-bit applications running on 64-bit kernels. We have a number of Android TV-based products currently running on the 4.9 kernel and this was broken for them.
Thanks to Robert McConnell for identifying and providing the patches in their initial format.
In order for Jaedon's patches to apply cleanly a number of changes were applied to support those changes. If you deem the patch series too big please let me know.
Mauro, can you review this? I would prefer not to maintain those patches in our downstream 4.9 kernel as there are quite a few of them, and this is likely beneficial to other people.
Hello? Anybody here?
Florian
Ouch. I top-posted - oops! Please reply on this email rather than the previous.
Hey Florian,
Thank you for the time and effort that you put into this patch series. I was excited to see this, when I first saw it posted a few weeks ago. I have every intention of giving it a review, but just haven't found the time yet. I'm sure that Mauro would say the same.
I'm sure that he and I both will find some time, hopefully over the next few weeks or sooner, to give this a thorough review and provide some feedback.
Hopefully we can put this on its way for merge soon. Please bear with us..
Thanks again for your contribution.
