net: separate SIOCGIFCONF handling from dev_ioctl() Only two of dev_ioctl() callers may pass SIOCGIFCONF to it. Separating that codepath from the rest of dev_ioctl() allows both to simplify dev_ioctl() itself (all other cases work with struct ifreq *) *and* seriously simplify the compat side of that beast: all it takes is passing to inet_gifconf() an extra argument - the size of individual records (sizeof(struct ifreq) or sizeof(struct compat_ifreq)). With dev_ifconf() called directly from sock_do_ioctl()/compat_dev_ifconf() that's easy to arrange. As the result, compat side of SIOCGIFCONF doesn't need any allocations, copy_in_user() back and forth, etc. Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
