I think this problem was introduced by brauner trying to persuade people
to perform size independent dispatch of ioctls:
switch (_IOC_NR(cmd)) {
case _IOC_NR(FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR):
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(_IOC_TYPE(cmd) != _IOC_TYPE(FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR)))
return SOMETHING_SOMETHING;
/* Only handle original size. */
return ioctl_fsgetxattr(filp, argp);
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-xfs/20250515-bedarf-absagen-464773be3e72@brauner/
though we probably want a helper or something to encapsulate those three
comparisons to avoid the SOMETHING_SOMETHING part:
#define IOC_DISPATCH(c) \
((c) & ~(_IOC(0, 0, 0, _IOC_SIZE(_IOC_SIZEMASK))))
switch (IOC_DISPATCH(cmd)) {
case IOC_DISPATCH(FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR):
return ioctl_fsgetxattr(filp, cmd, argp);
Assuming that ioctl_fsgetxattr derives size from @cmd and rejects values
that it doesn't like. Hrm?

blk_get_meta_cap already checks this.
