I've earlier done something like this :
/* Attach line discipline to the uctrl tty */
set_fs(get_ds());
ret = put_user(N_PS3D, &ldiscNum);
if (ret != 0) {
PSDEBUG(debuglevel, "Leaving, EFAULT\n");
return -EFAULT;
} else {
set_fs(KERNEL_DS);
ret = uctrl_file->f_op->unlocked_ioctl(uctrl_file, TIOCSETD, (unsigned long)&ldiscNum);
/*
* Decrement use count since setting the line descipline triggers a call to 'n_ps3d_tty_open'
* which increments the use count making it impossible to only the module without --force
*/
module_put(THIS_MODULE);
if (ret < 0) {
PSKERR(debuglevel, "failed with n_tty_ioctl()\n");
return -EFAULT;
}
}
set_fs(old_fs);
