The current behaviour of the compat ioctls is a bit odd. We provide a compat_ioctl method when KVM_COMPAT is set, and NULL otherwise. But NULL means that the normal, non-compat ioctl should be used directly for compat tasks, and there is no way to actually prevent a compat task from issueing KVM ioctls. This patch changes this behaviour, by always registering a compat_ioctl method, even if KVM_COMPAT is not selected. In that case, the callback will always return -EINVAL.

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. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
