Hi!
...what is the problem?
It seems that function pointers into modules do not need any special treatmeant [I *know* there was talk about this on l-k; but I can't find anything in Documentation/]:
if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)) return -EACCES; if (disk->fops->ioctl) { ret = disk->fops->ioctl(inode, file, cmd, arg); if (ret != -EINVAL) return ret; }
So... what's the problem with {un}register_ioctl32_conversion being called from module_init/module_exit? Drivers in the tree do it already... Pavel -- When do you have a heart between your knees?
