The ceph_ioctl function is used both for files and directories, but only the files support doing that in 32-bit compat mode. On the s390 architecture, there is also a problem with invalid 31-bit pointers that need to be passed through compat_ptr(). Use the new compat_ptr_ioctl() to address both issues. Note: When backporting this patch to stable kernels, "compat_ioctl: add compat_ptr_ioctl()" is needed as well.

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.
