RE: [Iscsitarget-devel] mips kernel 2.6.16rc1 + IET 0.4.13 - /dev/ietctl - ioctl unknown command

[Ming Zhang <mingz@ele.uri.edu>]

we use unlock_ioctl and we only have u32 u64 like data in the
structures.

anyway i dig out this email
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=13230597

u might meet same issue.
