Bad idea, that... Because several years down the road somebody will add an ioctl that takes an unsigned int for argument. Without so much as looking at your magical mystery macro being used to initialize file_operations. FWIW, I would name that helper in more blunt way - something like compat_ioctl_only_compat_pointer_ioctls_here()... _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
