[ Upstream commit055d88242a] Support for handling the PPPOEIOCSFWD ioctl in compat mode was added in linux-2.5.69 along with hundreds of other commands, but was always broken sincen only the structure is compatible, but the command number is not, due to the size being sizeof(size_t), or at first sizeof(sizeof((struct sockaddr_pppox)), which is different on 64-bit architectures. Guillaume Nault adds: And the implementation was broken until 2016 (see29e73269aa("pppoe: fix reference counting in PPPoE proxy")), and nobody ever noticed. I should probably have removed this ioctl entirely instead of fixing it. Clearly, it has never been used. Fix it by adding a compat_ioctl handler for all pppoe variants that translates the command number and then calls the regular ioctl function. All other ioctl commands handled by pppoe are compatible between 32-bit and 64-bit, and require compat_ptr() conversion. This should apply to all stable kernels.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
