Bug#349338: linux-image-2.6.15-1-amd64-k8: bug in VIDIOCSWIN ioctl32 (32/64-bit compat layer)



Package: linux-image-2.6.15-1-amd64-k8
Version: 2.6.15-3.1
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

It may be a bit strange, but I am using a Debian amd64 kernel on an i386
installation. I have problems with my TV card, as the VIDIOCSWIN ioctl 
always fail.

This is a bug in the 32/64-bit compat layer, a patch is available on
 http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/12/19/35 . It has been merged in version
2.6.16rc1.

Note that this bug does not seems to be specific to i386/amd64, as the
person who wrote the patch did it for sparc64. It probably affects all
systems with a 64-bit kernel and a 32-bit userland, ie amd64, hppa64, 
sparc64 and powerpc64.

Thanks,
Aurelien
