This fixes ioctl behavior on powerpc e6500 platforms with 64bit kernel and 32bit userspace. The current type cast has no effect there and the value passed to the kernel is still 0. Probably an issue related to the compiler, since I'm assuming the same configuration works on a similar setup on x86.
Also ensure consistency with previous type cast in TRACE message. - v2: paranthesis fix Signed-off-by: Bogdan Purcareata <bogdan.purcare...@freescale.com> --- nbd.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/nbd.c b/nbd.c index 91b7d56..da81a5b 100644 --- a/nbd.c +++ b/nbd.c @@ -681,7 +681,7 @@ int nbd_init(int fd, int csock, uint32_t flags, off_t size) TRACE("Setting size to %zd block(s)", (size_t)(size / BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE)); - if (ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS, size / (size_t)BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE) < 0) { + if (ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS, (size_t)(size / BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE)) < 0) { int serrno = errno; LOG("Failed setting size (in blocks)"); return -serrno; -- 2.1.4
