The fscrypt UAPI header defines fscrypt_policy to fscrypt_policy_v1, for source compatibility with old userspace programs. Internally, the kernel doesn't want that compatibility definition. Instead, fscrypt_private.h #undefs it and re-defines it to a union. That works for now. However, in order to add fscrypt_operations::get_dummy_policy(), we'll need to forward declare 'union fscrypt_policy' in include/linux/fscrypt.h. That would cause build errors because "fscrypt_policy" is used in ioctl numbers. To avoid this, modify the UAPI header to make the fscrypt_policy compatibility definition conditional on !__KERNEL__, and make the ioctls use fscrypt_policy_v1 instead of fscrypt_policy. Note that this doesn't change the actual ioctl numbers. Acked-by: Jeff Layton <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <[email protected]>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
