What appears to be a copy and paste error from the line above gets
the ioctl a ssize_t return value instead of the traditional "int".
The associated sample code used "long" which meant it would compile
for x86-64 but not i386, with the latter failing as follows:
CC [M] samples/vfio-mdev/mtty.o
samples/vfio-mdev/mtty.c:1418:20: error: initialization from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
.ioctl = mtty_ioctl,
^
samples/vfio-mdev/mtty.c:1418:20: note: (near initialization for ‘mdev_fops.ioctl’)
cc1: some warnings being treated as errors
Since in this case, vfio is working with struct file_operations; as such:
long (*unlocked_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);
long (*compat_ioctl) (struct file *, unsigned int, unsigned long);
...and so here we just standardize on long vs. the normal int that user
space typically sees and documents as per "man ioctl" and similar.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
