The declaration of struct ib_user_mad_reg_req.method_mask[] exported to userspace was an array of __u32, but the kernel internally treated it as a bitmap made up of longs. This makes a difference for 64-bit big-endian kernels, where numbering the bits in an array of__u32 gives: |31.....0|63....31|95....64|127...96| while numbering the bits in an array of longs gives: |63..............0|127............64| 64-bit userspace can handle this by just treating method_mask[] as an array of longs, but 32-bit userspace is really stuck: the meaning of the bits in method_mask[] depends on whether the kernel is 32-bit or 64-bit, and there's no sane way for userspace to know that. Fix this by updating <rdma/ib_user_mad.h> to make it clear that method_mask[] is an array of longs, and using a compat_ioctl method to convert to an array of 64-bit longs to handle the 32-on-64 problem. This fixes the interface description to match existing behavior (so working binaries continue to work) in almost all situations, and gives consistent semantics in the case of 32-bit userspace that can run on either a 32-bit or 64-bit kernel, so that the same binary can work for both 32-on-32 and 32-on-64 systems.
