SubjectRe: Information on ioctl32
Digg This
Thanks for the info.

From what they say over on lwn.net, I need to apply a patch, but my current kernel (debian for amd64) is already trying to call it ioctl32.
Problem is, the kernel headers don't seem to have an entry in the file_operations struct for compat_ioctl. Does anyone know if there's any other place (struct) I should be looking to put this function?
I thought it a bit odd that the prebuilt default kernel is trying to call this function, but the headers for this kernel don't seem to allow me to insert it into the fops struct.

Thanks,

James

I don't see ioctl32 here, but lwn.net also has driver-porting info at: http://lwn.net/Articles/driver-porting/



Is there anywhere that I can find some more information on this, such as a howto? I've been googling but have only really stumbled across some brief info on lwn.net.



The currently relevant info at lwn.net is http://lwn.net/Articles/119652/
