dsa_master_ioctl() is in the process of getting converted to a different API, where we won't have access to a struct ifreq * anymore, but rather, to a struct kernel_hwtstamp_config. Since ds->ops->port_hwtstamp_get() still uses struct ifreq *, this creates a difficult situation where we have to make up such a dummy pointer. The conversion is a bit messy, because it forces a "good" implementation of ds->ops->port_hwtstamp_get() to return -EFAULT in copy_to_user() because of the NULL ifr->ifr_data pointer. However, it works, and it is only a transient step until ds->ops->port_hwtstamp_get() gets converted to the new API which passes struct kernel_hwtstamp_config and does not call copy_to_user().

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.
