[PATCH] vfio-mdev: fix non-standard ioctl return val causing i386 build fail

From: Paul Gortmaker
Date: Tue Jan 03 2017 - 14:37:43 EST


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 âmdev_fops.ioctlâ)
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors

Use the standard "int" ioctl return value in both the header and
the sample code to fix the issue.

Fixes: 9d1a546c53b4 ("docs: Sample driver to demonstrate how to use Mediated device framework.")
