Commit89b3d6e605("nvme: simplify the compat ioctl handling") removed the initialization of compat_ioctl from the nvme block_device_operations structures. Presumably the expectation was that 32-bit ioctls would be directed through the regular handler but this is not the case: failing to assign .compat_ioctl actually means that the compat case is disabled entirely, and any attempt to submit nvme ioctls from 32-bit userspace fails outright with -ENOTTY. For example: % smartctl -x /dev/nvme0n1 [...] Read NVMe Identify Controller failed: NVME_IOCTL_ADMIN_CMD: Inappropriate ioctl for device The blkdev_compat_ptr_ioctl helper can be used to direct compat calls through the main ioctl handler and makes things work again.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
