This looks like it will have the same problem on s390 as sys_sync_file_range. Maybe the prototype should be: asmlinkage long sys_fallocate(loff_t offset, loff_t len, int fd, int mode)Yes, but the trouble is that there was a contrary viewpoint preferring that fd first be maintained as a convention like other syscalls (see the following posts)
Of course the interface used by an application program would have the fd first. Glibc can do the translation. Paul.
