Please don't, that's just rude. Hint, you should have a "struct device dev" in this structure if you are doing things right. > +static long drv_driver_unlocked_ioctl(struct file *filp, > + u_int iocmd, > + unsigned long ioarg) > +{ Ah, a new syscall. Why not just create a real syscall instead of multiplexing here?
