help: you can convert a `u64` to an `i32` and panic if the converted value doesn't fit

Just confirming, are you building on a 32 bit system?

[jirutka]

No, this is from x86_64.

[brianc118]

Ah I see for musl the libc crate uses i32 instead of u64 for ioctl: https://docs.rs/libc/0.2.153/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/libc/fn.ioctl.html

The constant is u64 in musl libc: https://docs.rs/libc/0.2.153/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/libc/constant.SIOCETHTOOL.html.

Probably the best option here is to do the cast as suggested by the compiler. Do you mind testing out that change?

This problem is there for libfs as well.
cargo install --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl xcp fails too.
