Sending the exact same send stream to two different machines, on
one of them I am getting:
ERROR: BTRFS_IOC_SET_RECEIVED_SUBVOL failed. Inappropriate ioctl for device
The other machine is fine. Investigating, I find that the working
machine is 64-bit userspace and kernel. The failing machine is 32-bit
userspace and 64-bit kernel.
struct btrfs_ioctl_received_subvol_args {
char uuid[BTRFS_UUID_SIZE]; /* in */
__u64 stransid; /* in */
__u64 rtransid; /* out */
struct btrfs_ioctl_timespec stime; /* in */
struct btrfs_ioctl_timespec rtime; /* out */
__u64 flags; /* in */
__u64 reserved[16]; /* in */
};
struct btrfs_ioctl_timespec {
__u64 sec;
__u32 nsec;
};
This latter struct is 16 bytes in a 64-bit environment (with 4
bytes wasted) and 12 bytes in a 32-bit environment. This means that on
my broken machine, the kernel is expecting ioctl(5, 0xc0c89425, ...)
and is being called with ioctl(5, 0xc0c09425, ...).
As far as I can see, the best (only?) solution is to teach the
kernel to accept both
_IOWR(BTRFS_IOCTL_MAGIC, 37, struct btrfs_ioctl_received_subvol_args)
and
_IOWR(BTRFS_IOCTL_MAGIC, 37, struct btrfs_ioctl_received_subvol_args_32)
if it's compiled on a 64-bit architecture, where the _32 version of
the struct is otherwise identical to the struct(s) above, but declared
as __packed__.
Patch to follow.
Hugo.
