[PATCH] Applying inappropriate ioctl operation on socket should return ENOTTY

From: Lifeng Sun
Date: Wed Apr 27 2011 - 01:38:00 EST


ioctl() calls against a socket with an inappropriate ioctl operation
are incorrectly returning EINVAL rather than ENOTTY:

[ENOTTY]
Inappropriate I/O control operation.

BugLink: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33992

This bug is not limited to socket, it also occurs in a lot of, maybe
some hundred, other ioctl operations, while in the patch I only fixed
about a dozen of additional ones in pipe, fifo and character device
drivers.
