I appeared when I examined the code that they prepared for this and :

#define HAVE_UNLOCKED_IOCTL 1

... in nv.c almost suffices. ;-) They defined this like that:

static struct file_operations nv_fops = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.poll = nv_kern_poll,
// .ioctl = nv_kern_ioctl,
#if defined(HAVE_UNLOCKED_IOCTL)
.unlocked_ioctl = nv_kern_unlocked_ioctl,
#endif
#if defined(NVCPU_X86_64) && defined(HAVE_COMPAT_IOCTL)
.compat_ioctl = nv_kern_compat_ioctl,
#endif
#ifndef NV_USER_MAP
.mmap = nv_kern_mmap,
#endif /* NV_USER_MAP */
.open = nv_kern_open,
.release = nv_kern_close,
};

Regards and thanks,

Piotr Hosowicz
