The more interesting question would be why the strace ioctl code seems to
ignore a couple of bits of the ioctl commands. In particular it seems to
ignore the direction and size bits.
That way different ioctls would be mapped to the same number.
These two for example:
#define BIODASDINFO _IOR(DASD_IOCTL_LETTER,1,dasd_information_t)
#define BIODASDFMT _IOW(DASD_IOCTL_LETTER,1,format_data_t)
{"asm/dasd.h", "BIODASDINFO", 0x81784401},
{"asm/dasd.h", "BIODASDFMT", 0x40104401},
Without taking direction and size into account both would map to the number
0x4401.
Thus a couple of s390 device driver ioctl commands are not unique to strace.
Very strange.
Looks like ioctl_lookup() needs another #ifdef ;)
