    vfio-mdev: fix non-standard ioctl return val causing i386 build fail · c6ef7fd4
    Paul Gortmaker authored
    What appears to be a copy and paste error from the line above gets
    the ioctl a ssize_t return value instead of the traditional "int".
    
    The associated sample code used "long" which meant it would compile
    for x86-64 but not i386, with the latter failing as follows:
    
      CC [M]  samples/vfio-mdev/mtty.o
    samples/vfio-mdev/mtty.c:1418:20: error: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
      .ioctl          = mtty_ioctl,
                        ^
    samples/vfio-mdev/mtty.c:1418:20: note: (near initialization for ‘mdev_fops.ioctl’)
    cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
    
    Since in this case, vfio is working with struct file_operations; as such:
    
        long (*unlocked_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);
        long (*compat_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);
    
    ...and so here we just standardize on long vs. the normal int that user
    space typically sees and documents as per "man ioctl" and similar.
