Ioctl Numbers

|
|
|
|
If you are adding new ioctl's to the kernel, you should use the _IO
|
|
macros defined in <linux/ioctl.h>:
|
|
|
|
_IO an ioctl with no parameters
|
|
_IOW an ioctl with write parameters (copy_from_user)
|
|
_IOR an ioctl with read parameters (copy_to_user)
|
|
_IOWR an ioctl with both write and read parameters.
|
|
|
|
'Write' and 'read' are from the user's point of view, just like the
|
|
system calls 'write' and 'read'. For example, a SET_FOO ioctl would
|
|
be _IOW, although the kernel would actually read data from user space;
|
|
a GET_FOO ioctl would be _IOR, although the kernel would actually write
|
|
data to user space.
|
|
|
|
The first argument to _IO, _IOW, _IOR, or _IOWR is an identifying letter
|
|
or number from the table below. Because of the large number of drivers,
|
|
many drivers share a partial letter with other drivers.
|
|
|
|
If you are writing a driver for a new device and need a letter, pick an
|
|
unused block with enough room for expansion: 32 to 256 ioctl commands.
|
|
You can register the block by patching this file and submitting the
|
|
patch to Linus Torvalds. Or you can e-mail me at <mec@shout.net> and
|
|
I'll register one for you.
|
|
|
|
The second argument to _IO, _IOW, _IOR, or _IOWR is a sequence number
|
|
to distinguish ioctls from each other. The third argument to _IOW,
|
|
_IOR, or _IOWR is the type of the data going into the kernel or coming
|
|
out of the kernel (e.g. 'int' or 'struct foo'). NOTE! Do NOT use
|
|
sizeof(arg) as the third argument as this results in your ioctl thinking
|
|
it passes an argument of type size_t.
|
|
|
|
Some devices use their major number as the identifier; this is OK, as
|
|
long as it is unique. Some devices are irregular and don't follow any
|
|
convention at all.
|
|
|
|
Following this convention is good because:
|
|
|
|
(1) Keeping the ioctl's globally unique helps error checking:
|
|
if a program calls an ioctl on the wrong device, it will get an
|
|
error rather than some unexpected behaviour.
|
|
|
|
(2) The 'strace' build procedure automatically finds ioctl numbers
|
|
defined with _IO, _IOW, _IOR, or _IOWR.
|
|
|
|
(3) 'strace' can decode numbers back into useful names when the
|
|
numbers are unique.
|
|
|
|
(4) People looking for ioctls can grep for them more easily when
|
|
this convention is used to define the ioctl numbers.
|
|
|
|
(5) When following the convention, the driver code can use generic
|
|
code to copy the parameters between user and kernel space.
|
|
|
|
This table lists ioctls visible from user land for Linux/x86. It contains
|
|
most drivers up to 2.6.31, but I know I am missing some. There has been
|
|
no attempt to list non-X86 architectures or ioctls from drivers/staging/.
