This is probably what we want here for compatibility reasons, but I think it should be explained in the changelog text, and I'd like Jeff or Bruce to comment on it as well: the alternative here would be to make the uapi definition depend on __BITS_PER_LONG==32, which is technically the right thing to do but more a of a change.

Well, the change is bigger and less subtle. Before this change the constants were never visible to userspace at all (except on mips), because the #ifdef CONFIG_64BIT it never set for userspace builds. > This is probably what we want here for compatibility reasons, but I think > it should be explained in the changelog text, and I'd like Jeff or Bruce > to comment on it as well: the alternative here would be to make the > uapi definition depend on __BITS_PER_LONG==32, which is > technically the right thing to do but more a of a change. I can change this to #if __BITS_PER_LONG==32 || defined(__KERNEL__), but it will still be change in what userspace sees.

Exactly, that is the tradeoff, which is why I'd like the flock maintainers to say which way they prefer. We can either do it more correctly (hiding the constants from user space when they are not usable), or with less change (removing the incorrect #ifdef). Either way sounds reasonable to me, I mainly care that this is explained in the changelog and that the maintainers are aware of the two options. Arnd

If we were taking symbols away that were previously visible to userland it would be one thing, but since we're just adding symbols that may not have been there before, this seems less likely to break anything. I probably lean toward Christoph's original solution instead of keeping the conditional definitions. It's hard to imagine there are many programs that care whether these other symbols are defined or not. You can add this to the original patch: Acked-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@kernel.org>

Changing #ifndef CONFIG_64BIT to #if __BITS_PER_LONG==32 || defined(__KERNEL__), would take symbols away, since the CONFIG_64BIT macro is never set in user space. > I probably lean toward Christoph's original solution instead of keeping > the conditional definitions.

Or respin it? Or add the above change ontop?

The fcntl F_GETLK64/F_SETLK64/F_SETLKW64 are only implemented for the 32-bit syscall APIs, but we also need them for compat handling on 64-bit builds. Redefining them is error prone (as shown by the example that parisc gets it wrong currently), so we should use the same defines for both case. In theory we could try to hide them from userspace, but given that only MIPS actually gets that right, while the asm-generic version used by most architectures relies on a Kconfig symbol that can't be relied on to be set properly by userspace is a clear indicator to not bother.
