The ioctl encoding for this parameter is a long but the documentation says it should be an int and the kernel drivers expect it to be an int. If the fuse driver treats this as a long it might end up scribbling over the stack of a userspace process that only allocated enough space for an int. This was previously discussed in [1] and a patch for fuse was proposed in [2]. From what I can tell the patch in [2] was nacked in favor of adding new, "fixed" ioctls and using those from userspace. However there is still no "fixed" version of these ioctls and the fact is that it's sometimes infeasible to change all userspace to use the new one. Handling the ioctls specially in the fuse driver seems like the most pragmatic way for fuse servers to support them without causing crashes in userspace applications that call them.
