There=E2=80=99s a better way to do this. People have been wanting = larger names to be merged into 12.x and 11.x, and that was going to be hard with how I originally did this. Your compat shim doesn=E2=80=99t make it any = easier. What I was going to do was return the ioctl in HEAD to the original size, and = create a new ioctl for the larger size, That would fix the compatibility issue = (since we don=E2=80=99t support a newer userland on an older kernel) and make it possible to = merge to -stable branches. I=E2=80=99d like to revert this commit and go in = that direction.
