At least for the unlocked_ioctl case this is not nessecary because the driver an simply set both the unlocked_ioctl and compat_ioctl handlers to the same function. For the drivers not using unlocked_ioctl yet a function like this makes sense in theory, but I'd prefer to just switch them to ->unlocked_ioctl. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
