ioctl flow change in kernel 2.6

ioctl flow change in kernel 2.6

[Sujeet Kumar]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1160 bytes --]

the flow of ioctl in kernel 2.6 .  it handles
for the generic implementations first and if not found then driver
specific (like BLKRRPART).

I am trying a pseudo driver over a block driver which will handle the
generic ioctls.

Is there a way I can handle BLKRRPART from my pseudo driver if I want to ?

Thanks & regards ,
sujeet kumar

That's not strictly true. The disclaimer is entirely unenforceable in
law, and serves no purpose other than to annoy us and to demonstrate in
public just how clueless his company lawyers are. 

But we _won't_ help you if you include such stupid disclaimers,
certainly. Go away and do not return until you've turned it off.
