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);
