132  * DOC: Extensibility
133  *
134  * Originally, we had planned to allow backward and forward compatible
135  * changes by just adding fields at the end of the structure that are
136  * then not reported on older kernels on read(), and not written to by
137  * older kernels on write(), with the kernel reporting the size it did
138  * accept as the result.
139  *
140  * This would have allowed userspace to detect on read() and write()
141  * which kernel structure version it was dealing with, and if was just
142  * recompiled it would have gotten the new fields, but obviously not
143  * accessed them, but things should've continued to work.
144  *
145  * Unfortunately, while actually exercising this mechanism to add the
146  * hard block reasons field, we found that userspace (notably systemd)
147  * did all kinds of fun things not in line with this scheme:
148  *
149  * 1. treat the (expected) short writes as an error;
150  * 2. ask to read sizeof(struct rfkill_event) but then compare the
151  *    actual return value to RFKILL_EVENT_SIZE_V1 and treat any
152  *    mismatch as an error.
153  *
154  * As a consequence, just recompiling with a new struct version caused
155  * things to no longer work correctly on old and new kernels.
156  *
157  * Hence, we've rolled back &struct rfkill_event to the original version
158  * and added &struct rfkill_event_ext. This effectively reverts to the
159  * old behaviour for all userspace, unless it explicitly opts in to the
160  * rules outlined here by using the new &struct rfkill_event_ext.
161  *
162  * Additionally, some other userspace (bluez, g-s-d) was reading with a
163  * large size but as streaming reads rather than message-based, or with
164  * too strict checks for the returned size. So eventually, we completely
165  * reverted this, and extended messages need to be opted in to by using
166  * an ioctl:
167  *
168  *  ioctl(fd, RFKILL_IOCTL_MAX_SIZE, sizeof(struct rfkill_event_ext));
169  *
170  * Userspace using &struct rfkill_event_ext and the ioctl must adhere to
171  * the following rules:
172  *
173  * 1. accept short writes, optionally using them to detect that it's
174  *    running on an older kernel;
175  * 2. accept short reads, knowing that this means it's running on an
176  *    older kernel;
177  * 3. treat reads that are as long as requested as acceptable, not
178  *    checking against RFKILL_EVENT_SIZE_V1 or such.
