Ioctl Numbers
19 October 1999
Michael Elizabeth Chastain
<mec@shout.net>
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/.

USB: cdc-wdm: implement IOCTL_WDM_MAX_COMMAND Userspace applications need to know the maximum supported message size. The cdc-wdm driver translates between a character device stream and a message based protocol. Each message is transported as a usb control message with no further encapsulation or syncronization. Each read or write on the character device should translate to exactly one usb control message to ensure that message boundaries are kept intact. That means that the userspace application must know the maximum message size supported by the device and driver, making this size a vital part of the cdc-wdm character device API. CDC WDM and CDC MBIM functions export the maximum supported message size through CDC functional descriptors. The cdc-wdm and cdc_mbim drivers will parse these descriptors and use the value chosen by the device. The only current way for a userspace application to retrive the value is by duplicating the descriptor parsing. This is an unnecessary complex task, and application writers are likely to postpone it, using a fixed value and adding a "todo" item. QMI functions have no way to tell the host what message size they support. The qmi_wwan driver use a fixed value based on protocol recommendations and observed device behaviour. Userspace applications must know and hard code the same value. This scheme will break if we ever encounter a QMI device needing a device specific message size quirk. We are currently unable to support such a device because using a non default size would break the implicit userspace API. The message size is currently a hidden attribute of the cdc-wdm userspace API. Retrieving it is unnecessarily complex, increasing the possibility of drivers and applications using different limits. The resulting errors are hard to debug, and can only be replicated on identical hardware. Exporting the maximum message size from the driver simplifies the task for the userspace application, and creates a unified information source independent of device and function class. It also serves to document that the message size is part of the cdc-wdm userspace API. This proposed API extension has been presented for the authors of userspace applications and libraries using the current API: libmbim, libqmi, uqmi, oFono and ModemManager. The replies were: Aleksander Morgado: "We do really need max message size for MBIM; and as you say, it may be good to have the max message size info also for QMI, so the new ioctl seems a good addition. So +1 from my side, for what it's worth." Dan Williams: "Yeah, +1 here. I'd prefer the sysfs file, but the fact that that doesn't work for fd passing pretty much kills it." No negative replies are so far received.
