| |
Hello,
I need some help on understanding how the SIO signals are sent to a driver. I have looked at net/dev.c and it helped some but I am still not able to relate to where the calls are originating from and how to create them. Specific question is below.
I was wondering how I can send a device driver a SIOCDEVPRIVATE signal to get it to execute the correspinding code inside the drivers ioctl function.
It looks like that the driver executes the other SIOC cases when another program calls them, execept I need to make the SIOCDEVPRIVATE case get executed before all other SIOC cases.
Thanks for any help.
