I'm having trouble inserting a module into the kernel. It was

ioctl32(app:2342): Unknown cmd fd(7) etc etc.
I imagine this is to allow the 32bit binaries (and libraries) to use
the 64bit kernel, allowing for some conversion to take place.
The problem is when building the module, if I add an entry to my fops
struct for ioctl32 (or from a little bit of research 'compat_ioctl'),
it complains that this is an unknown field in the kernel's fops struct.
I'm using the default kernel btw. Would anyone know why I'm unable to
add this field to the struct? Or could anyone refer me to anything
that might explain things?
Thanks a lot

I've just had a look in the kernel-headers directory for the default
kernel. There is definately no entry for ioctl32 or compat_ioctl in the
file_operations struct.
How come it's calling ioctl32, when I'm unable to specify anything for it?
Thanks
James
