I somewhat belatedly got round to updating my QEMU patch that uses this new fcntl() flag to fix the bug. Sorry for the delay getting round to this. You can find the QEMU patch here: https://patchew.org/QEMU/20200623100101.6041-1-peter.maydell@linaro.org/ (it's an RFC because obviously we won't put it into QEMU until the kernel side has gone upstream and the API is final.) What's the next step for moving this forward? thanks -- PMM

Ted, can you merge this patch? It seems QEMU is happy and AFICT it uses the approach you want :) Yours, Linus Walleij

Special merge-window ping. Shall I resend the patch? Yours, Linus Walleij

It was brought to my attention that this bug from 2018 was still unresolved: 32 bit emulators like QEMU were given 64 bit hashes when running 32 bit emulation on 64 bit systems. This adds a flag to the fcntl() F_GETFD and F_SETFD operations to set the underlying filesystem into 32bit mode even if the file handle was opened using 64bit mode without the compat syscalls. Programs that need the 32 bit file system behavior need to issue a fcntl() system call such as in this example: #define FD_32BIT_MODE 2 int main(int argc, char** argv) { DIR* dir; int err; int fd; dir = opendir("/boot"); fd = dirfd(dir); err = fcntl(fd, F_SETFD, FD_32BIT_MODE); if (err) { printf("fcntl() failed! err=%d\n", err); return 1; } printf("dir=%p\n", dir); printf("readdir(dir)=%p\n", readdir(dir)); printf("errno=%d: %s\n", errno, strerror(errno)); return 0; } This can be pretty hard to test since C libraries and linux userspace security extensions aggressively filter the parameters that are passed down and allowed to commit into actual system calls.
