Also it will be faster than > the ioctl due to lack of BKL usage :) The problem is that if something is wrong regarding 32bit/64bit compatibility (I am not saying Arnd will get it wrong, but for a general rule someone will get it wrong and it has happened, e.g. in ubsfs) then it is impossible to do any compat emulation on read/write. So I would actually prefer ioctl because it is sfer. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||
