For the moment, I am focusing on the frontend ioctl problem According to the fops: static const struct file_operations dvb_frontend_fops = { .owner = THIS_MODULE, .unlocked_ioctl = dvb_generic_ioctl, .poll = dvb_frontend_poll, .open = dvb_frontend_open, .release = dvb_frontend_release, .llseek =

32bit userland cannot work with DVB drivers in 64bit kernel, design issue

Hi all I am investigating for Armbian, the feasability of running 32bit userland on single board computers based on arm64 SoC, where only 64 bit kernel is available, for reducing the memory footprint. I have discovered that there is a flaw in the DVB frontend ioctl (at least) that prevents to do
