There’s 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’t 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’t support a newer userland on an older kernel) and make it possible to merge to -stable branches. I’d like to revert this commit and go in that direction.
