Bug is in the new dev_ifname32: uifr = compat_alloc_user_space(sizeof(struct ifreq)); if (copy_in_user(uifr, compat_ptr(arg), sizeof(struct ifreq32))); return -EFAULT;
There's a stray ";" after the if statement, that was obviously not tested :-) This fixes it here (tested): ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [PATCH] Fix new dev_ifname32 returning -EFAULT A stray semicolon slipped in the patch that updated dev_ifname32 to not be inline, causing it to always return -EFAULT. This fixes it.
