https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=273458 Bug ID: 273458 Summary: SIOCGIFDATA should be _IORW not _IOW Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: kern Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: nreilly@blackberry.com sys/sys/sockio.h line 85: #define SIOCGIFDATA _IOW('i', 44, struct ifreq) /* get if_data */ This is a get function so it should be _IORW and not _IOW. There was a comment on https://reviews.freebsd.org/D26538: "Can't it be plain _IOW? This ioctl does not modify the request structure." but that is not correct. While it doesn't touch the ifreq structure, it does modify the values in the if_data structure that is pointed to by the ifr_data member of the ifreq. This doesn't seem to have an adverse affect on FreeBSD 13.2, the data is still correctly returned. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
