[PATCH] dm: support ioctls on mapped devices
Extend the core device-mapper infrastructure to accept arbitrary ioctls on a mapped device provided that it has exactly one target and it is capable of supporting ioctls. [We can't use unlocked_ioctl because we need 'inode': 'file' might be NULL. Is it worth changing this?] Signed-off-by: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> wrote: > Am Wednesday 21 June 2006 21:31 schrieb Alasdair G Kergon: > > static struct block_device_operations dm_blk_dops = { > > .open = dm_blk_open, > > .release = dm_blk_close, > > +.ioctl = dm_blk_ioctl, > > .getgeo = dm_blk_getgeo, > > .owner = THIS_MODULE > > I guess this also needs a ->compat_ioctl method, otherwise it won't > work for ioctl numbers that have a compat_ioctl implementation in the > low-level device driver.
