Hi, thank you for pointing this out.

But, this patch looks to prevent compat_sys_ioctl() from handling
other compatible ioctls that compat_ioctl_check_table function
detects. For instance, fiemap (FS_IOC_FIEMAP) is handled via the
function.

I think we should only redirect own ioctl commands
(i.e. NILFS_IOCTL_xxxx) to the nilfs_ioctl() call.
