+(How to avoid) Botching up ioctls
+=================================
+
+From: http://blog.ffwll.ch/2013/11/botching-up-ioctls.html
+
+By: Daniel Vetter, Copyright © 2013 Intel Corporation
+
+One clear insight kernel graphics hackers gained in the past few years is that
+trying to come up with a unified interface to manage the execution units and
+memory on completely different GPUs is a futile effort. So nowadays every
+driver has its own set of ioctls to allocate memory and submit work to the GPU.
+Which is nice, since there's no more insanity in the form of fake-generic, but
+actually only used once interfaces. But the clear downside is that there's much
+more potential to screw things up.
+
+To avoid repeating all the same mistakes again I've written up some of the
+lessons learned while botching the job for the drm/i915 driver. Most of these
+only cover technicalities and not the big-picture issues like what the command
+submission ioctl exactly should look like. Learning these lessons is probably
+something every GPU driver has to do on its own.
+
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+First the prerequisites. Without these you have already failed, because you
+will need to add a a 32-bit compat layer:
+
+ * Only use fixed sized integers. To avoid conflicts with typedefs in userspace
+ the kernel has special types like __u32, __s64. Use them.
+
+ * Align everything to the natural size and use explicit padding. 32-bit
+ platforms don't necessarily align 64-bit values to 64-bit boundaries, but
+ 64-bit platforms do. So we always need padding to the natural size to get
+ this right.
+
+ * Pad the entire struct to a multiple of 64-bits - the structure size will
+ otherwise differ on 32-bit versus 64-bit. Having a different structure size
+ hurts when passing arrays of structures to the kernel, or if the kernel
+ checks the structure size, which e.g. the drm core does.
+
+ * Pointers are __u64, cast from/to a uintprt_t on the userspace side and
+ from/to a void __user * in the kernel. Try really hard not to delay this
+ conversion or worse, fiddle the raw __u64 through your code since that
+ diminishes the checking tools like sparse can provide.
+
+
+Basics
+------
+
+With the joys of writing a compat layer avoided we can take a look at the basic
+fumbles. Neglecting these will make backward and forward compatibility a real
+pain. And since getting things wrong on the first attempt is guaranteed you
+will have a second iteration or at least an extension for any given interface.
+
+ * Have a clear way for userspace to figure out whether your new ioctl or ioctl
+ extension is supported on a given kernel. If you can't rely on old kernels
+ rejecting the new flags/modes or ioctls (since doing that was botched in the
+ past) then you need a driver feature flag or revision number somewhere.
+
+ * Have a plan for extending ioctls with new flags or new fields at the end of
+ the structure. The drm core checks the passed-in size for each ioctl call
+ and zero-extends any mismatches between kernel and userspace. That helps,
+ but isn't a complete solution since newer userspace on older kernels won't
+ notice that the newly added fields at the end get ignored. So this still
+ needs a new driver feature flags.
+
+ * Check all unused fields and flags and all the padding for whether it's 0,
+ and reject the ioctl if that's not the case. Otherwise your nice plan for
+ future extensions is going right down the gutters since someone will submit
+ an ioctl struct with random stack garbage in the yet unused parts. Which
+ then bakes in the ABI that those fields can never be used for anything else
+ but garbage.
+
+ * Have simple testcases for all of the above.
+
+
+Fun with Error Paths
+--------------------
+
+Nowadays we don't have any excuse left any more for drm drivers being neat
+little root exploits. This means we both need full input validation and solid
+error handling paths - GPUs will die eventually in the oddmost corner cases
+anyway:
+
+ * The ioctl must check for array overflows. Also it needs to check for
+ over/underflows and clamping issues of integer values in general. The usual
+ example is sprite positioning values fed directly into the hardware with the
+ hardware just having 12 bits or so. Works nicely until some odd display
+ server doesn't bother with clamping itself and the cursor wraps around the
+ screen.
+
+ * Have simple testcases for every input validation failure case in your ioctl.
+ Check that the error code matches your expectations. And finally make sure
+ that you only test for one single error path in each subtest by submitting
+ otherwise perfectly valid data. Without this an earlier check might reject
+ the ioctl already and shadow the codepath you actually want to test, hiding
+ bugs and regressions.
+
+ * Make all your ioctls restartable. First X really loves signals and second
+ this will allow you to test 90% of all error handling paths by just
+ interrupting your main test suite constantly with signals. Thanks to X's
+ love for signal you'll get an excellent base coverage of all your error
+ paths pretty much for free for graphics drivers. Also, be consistent with
+ how you handle ioctl restarting - e.g. drm has a tiny drmIoctl helper in its
+ userspace library. The i915 driver botched this with the set_tiling ioctl,
+ now we're stuck forever with some arcane semantics in both the kernel and
+ userspace.
+
+ * If you can't make a given codepath restartable make a stuck task at least
+ killable. GPUs just die and your users won't like you more if you hang their
+ entire box (by means of an unkillable X process). If the state recovery is
+ still too tricky have a timeout or hangcheck safety net as a last-ditch
+ effort in case the hardware has gone bananas.
+
+ * Have testcases for the really tricky corner cases in your error recovery code
+ - it's way too easy to create a deadlock between your hangcheck code and
+ waiters.
+
+
+Time, Waiting and Missing it
+----------------------------
+
+GPUs do most everything asynchronously, so we have a need to time operations and
+wait for oustanding ones. This is really tricky business; at the moment none of
+the ioctls supported by the drm/i915 get this fully right, which means there's
+still tons more lessons to learn here.
+
+ * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC as your reference time, always. It's what alsa, drm and
+ v4l use by default nowadays. But let userspace know which timestamps are
+ derived from different clock domains like your main system clock (provided
+ by the kernel) or some independent hardware counter somewhere else. Clocks
+ will mismatch if you look close enough, but if performance measuring tools
+ have this information they can at least compensate. If your userspace can
+ get at the raw values of some clocks (e.g. through in-command-stream
+ performance counter sampling instructions) consider exposing those also.
+
+ * Use __s64 seconds plus __u64 nanoseconds to specify time. It's not the most
+ convenient time specification, but it's mostly the standard.
+
+ * Check that input time values are normalized and reject them if not. Note
+ that the kernel native struct ktime has a signed integer for both seconds
+ and nanoseconds, so beware here.
+
+ * For timeouts, use absolute times. If you're a good fellow and made your
+ ioctl restartable relative timeouts tend to be too coarse and can
+ indefinitely extend your wait time due to rounding on each restart.
+ Especially if your reference clock is something really slow like the display
+ frame counter. With a spec laywer hat on this isn't a bug since timeouts can
+ always be extended - but users will surely hate you if their neat animations
+ starts to stutter due to this.
+
+ * Consider ditching any synchronous wait ioctls with timeouts and just deliver
+ an asynchronous event on a pollable file descriptor. It fits much better
+ into event driven applications' main loop.
+
+ * Have testcases for corner-cases, especially whether the return values for
+ already-completed events, successful waits and timed-out waits are all sane
+ and suiting to your needs.
+
+
+Leaking Resources, Not
+----------------------
+
+A full-blown drm driver essentially implements a little OS, but specialized to
+the given GPU platforms. This means a driver needs to expose tons of handles
+for different objects and other resources to userspace. Doing that right
+entails its own little set of pitfalls:
+
+ * Always attach the lifetime of your dynamically created resources to the
+ lifetime of a file descriptor. Consider using a 1:1 mapping if your resource
+ needs to be shared across processes - fd-passing over unix domain sockets
+ also simplifies lifetime management for userspace.
+
+ * Always have O_CLOEXEC support.
+
+ * Ensure that you have sufficient insulation between different clients. By
+ default pick a private per-fd namespace which forces any sharing to be done
+ explictly. Only go with a more global per-device namespace if the objects
+ are truly device-unique. One counterexample in the drm modeset interfaces is
+ that the per-device modeset objects like connectors share a namespace with
+ framebuffer objects, which mostly are not shared at all. A separate
+ namespace, private by default, for framebuffers would have been more
+ suitable.
+
+ * Think about uniqueness requirements for userspace handles. E.g. for most drm
+ drivers it's a userspace bug to submit the same object twice in the same
+ command submission ioctl. But then if objects are shareable userspace needs
+ to know whether it has seen an imported object from a different process
+ already or not. I haven't tried this myself yet due to lack of a new class
+ of objects, but consider using inode numbers on your shared file descriptors
+ as unique identifiers - it's how real files are told apart, too.
+ Unfortunately this requires a full-blown virtual filesystem in the kernel.
+
+
+Last, but not Least
+-------------------
+
+Not every problem needs a new ioctl:
+
+ * Think hard whether you really want a driver-private interface. Of course
+ it's much quicker to push a driver-private interface than engaging in
+ lengthy discussions for a more generic solution. And occasionally doing a
+ private interface to spearhead a new concept is what's required. But in the
+ end, once the generic interface comes around you'll end up maintainer two
+ interfaces. Indefinitely.
+
+ * Consider other interfaces than ioctls. A sysfs attribute is much better for
+ per-device settings, or for child objects with fairly static lifetimes (like
+ output connectors in drm with all the detection override attributes). Or
+ maybe only your testsuite needs this interface, and then debugfs with its
+ disclaimer of not having a stable ABI would be better.
+
+Finally, the name of the game is to get it right on the first attempt, since if
+your driver proves popular and your hardware platforms long-lived then you'll
+be stuck with a given ioctl essentially forever. You can try to deprecate
+horrible ioctls on newer iterations of your hardware, but generally it takes
+years to accomplish this. And then again years until the last user able to
+complain about regressions disappears, too.

+
+ notes:
+ As of 2.6.8.1, comments in <linux/cdrom.h> indicate that this

+ notes:
+ Source code comments state:
+
+ Ok, this is where problems start. The current interface for
+ the CDROM_DISC_STATUS ioctl is flawed. It makes the false
+ assumption that CDs are all CDS_DATA_1 or all CDS_AUDIO, etc.
+ Unfortunately, while this is often the case, it is also
+ very common for CDs to have some tracks with data, and some
+ tracks with audio. Just because I feel like it, I declare
+ the following to be the best way to cope. If the CD has
+ ANY data tracks on it, it will be returned as a data CD.
+ If it has any XA tracks, I will return it as that. Now I
+ could simplify this interface by combining these returns with
+ the above, but this more clearly demonstrates the problem
+ with the current interface. Too bad this wasn't designed
+ to use bitmasks... -Erik
+
+ Well, now we have the option CDS_MIXED: a mixed-type CD.
+ User level programmers might feel the ioctl is not very
+ useful.

+ Summary of HDIO_ ioctl calls.
+ ============================
+
+ Edward A. Falk <efalk@google.com>
+
+ November, 2004
+
+This document attempts to describe the ioctl(2) calls supported by
+the HD/IDE layer. These are by-and-large implemented (as of Linux 2.6)
+in drivers/ide/ide.c and drivers/block/scsi_ioctl.c
+
+ioctl values are listed in <linux/hdreg.h>. As of this writing, they
+are as follows:
+
+ ioctls that pass argument pointers to user space:
+
+ HDIO_GETGEO get device geometry
+ HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR get current unmask setting
+ HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT get current IDE blockmode setting
+ HDIO_GET_QDMA get use-qdma flag
+ HDIO_SET_XFER set transfer rate via proc
+ HDIO_OBSOLETE_IDENTITY OBSOLETE, DO NOT USE
+ HDIO_GET_KEEPSETTINGS get keep-settings-on-reset flag
+ HDIO_GET_32BIT get current io_32bit setting
+ HDIO_GET_NOWERR get ignore-write-error flag
+ HDIO_GET_DMA get use-dma flag
+ HDIO_GET_NICE get nice flags
+ HDIO_GET_IDENTITY get IDE identification info
+ HDIO_GET_WCACHE get write cache mode on|off
+ HDIO_GET_ACOUSTIC get acoustic value
+ HDIO_GET_ADDRESS get sector addressing mode
+ HDIO_GET_BUSSTATE get the bus state of the hwif
+ HDIO_TRISTATE_HWIF execute a channel tristate
+ HDIO_DRIVE_RESET execute a device reset
+ HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE execute raw taskfile
+ HDIO_DRIVE_TASK execute task and special drive command
+ HDIO_DRIVE_CMD execute a special drive command
+ HDIO_DRIVE_CMD_AEB HDIO_DRIVE_TASK
+
+ ioctls that pass non-pointer values:
+
+ HDIO_SET_MULTCOUNT change IDE blockmode
+ HDIO_SET_UNMASKINTR permit other irqs during I/O
+ HDIO_SET_KEEPSETTINGS keep ioctl settings on reset
+ HDIO_SET_32BIT change io_32bit flags
+ HDIO_SET_NOWERR change ignore-write-error flag
+ HDIO_SET_DMA change use-dma flag
+ HDIO_SET_PIO_MODE reconfig interface to new speed
+ HDIO_SCAN_HWIF register and (re)scan interface
+ HDIO_SET_NICE set nice flags
+ HDIO_UNREGISTER_HWIF unregister interface
+ HDIO_SET_WCACHE change write cache enable-disable
+ HDIO_SET_ACOUSTIC change acoustic behavior
+ HDIO_SET_BUSSTATE set the bus state of the hwif
+ HDIO_SET_QDMA change use-qdma flag
+ HDIO_SET_ADDRESS change lba addressing modes
+
+ HDIO_SET_IDE_SCSI Set scsi emulation mode on/off
+ HDIO_SET_SCSI_IDE not implemented yet
+
+
+The information that follows was determined from reading kernel source
+code. It is likely that some corrections will be made over time.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+General:
+
+ Unless otherwise specified, all ioctl calls return 0 on success
+ and -1 with errno set to an appropriate value on error.
+
+ Unless otherwise specified, all ioctl calls return -1 and set
+ errno to EFAULT on a failed attempt to copy data to or from user
+ address space.
+
+ Unless otherwise specified, all data structures and constants
+ are defined in <linux/hdreg.h>
+
+
+
+HDIO_GETGEO get device geometry
+
+ usage:
+
+ struct hd_geometry geom;
+ ioctl(fd, HDIO_GETGEO, &geom);
+
+
+ inputs: none
+
+ outputs:
+
+ hd_geometry structure containing:
+
+ heads number of heads
+ sectors number of sectors/track
+ cylinders number of cylinders, mod 65536
+ start starting sector of this partition.
+
+
+ error returns:
+ EINVAL if the device is not a disk drive or floppy drive,
+ or if the user passes a null pointer
+
+
+ notes:
+
+ Not particularly useful with modern disk drives, whose geometry
+ is a polite fiction anyway. Modern drives are addressed
+ purely by sector number nowadays (lba addressing), and the
+ drive geometry is an abstraction which is actually subject
+ to change. Currently (as of Nov 2004), the geometry values
+ are the "bios" values -- presumably the values the drive had
+ when Linux first booted.
+
+ In addition, the cylinders field of the hd_geometry is an
+ unsigned short, meaning that on most architectures, this
+ ioctl will not return a meaningful value on drives with more
+ than 65535 tracks.
+
+ The start field is unsigned long, meaning that it will not
+ contain a meaningful value for disks over 219 Gb in size.
+
+
+
+
+HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR get current unmask setting
+
+ usage:
+
+ long val;
+ ioctl(fd, HDIO_GET_UNMASKINTR, &val);

+
+
+
+HDIO_SET_UNMASKINTR permit other irqs during I/O
+
+ usage:
+
+ unsigned long val;
+ ioctl(fd, HDIO_SET_UNMASKINTR, val);
+
+ inputs:
+ New value for unmask flag
+
+ outputs: none
+
+ error return:
+ EINVAL (bdev != bdev->bd_contains) (not sure what this means)
+ EACCES Access denied: requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+ EINVAL value out of range [0 1]
+ EBUSY Controller busy
+
+
+
+
+HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT get current IDE blockmode setting
+
+ usage:
+
+ long val;
+ ioctl(fd, HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT, &val);
+
+ inputs: none
+
+ outputs:
+ The value of the current IDE block mode setting. This
+ controls how many sectors the drive will transfer per
+ interrupt.
+
+
+
+HDIO_SET_MULTCOUNT change IDE blockmode
+
+ usage:
+
+ int val;
+ ioctl(fd, HDIO_SET_MULTCOUNT, val);
+
+ inputs:
+ New value for IDE block mode setting. This controls how many
+ sectors the drive will transfer per interrupt.
+
+ outputs: none
+
+ error return:
+ EINVAL (bdev != bdev->bd_contains) (not sure what this means)
+ EACCES Access denied: requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+ EINVAL value out of range supported by disk.
+ EBUSY Controller busy or blockmode already set.
+ EIO Drive did not accept new block mode.
+
+ notes:
+
+ Source code comments read:
+
+ This is tightly woven into the driver->do_special cannot
+ touch. DON'T do it again until a total personality rewrite
+ is committed.
+
+ If blockmode has already been set, this ioctl will fail with
+ EBUSY

+
+ usage:

+ the IDENTIFY DEVICE and IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE commands in
+ the ATA specification.
+
+ error returns:
+ EINVAL (bdev != bdev->bd_contains) (not sure what this means)
+ ENOMSG IDENTIFY DEVICE information not available
+
+ notes:
+
+ Returns information that was obtained when the drive was

+
+ outputs: none
+
+ error returns:
+ EACCES Access denied: requires CAP_SYS_ADMIN
+ EPERM Flags other than DSC_OVERLAP and NICE_1 set.
+ EPERM DSC_OVERLAP specified but not supported by drive
+
+ notes:
+
+ This ioctl sets the DSC_OVERLAP and NICE_1 flags from values
+ provided by the user.
+
+ Nice flags are listed in <linux/hdreg.h>, starting with

+
+
+
+HDIO_DRIVE_TASKFILE execute raw taskfile

+
+ notes:
+
+ [1] READ THE FOLLOWING NOTES *CAREFULLY*. THIS IOCTL IS
+ FULL OF GOTCHAS. Extreme caution should be used with using
+ this ioctl. A mistake can easily corrupt data or hang the
+ system.
+
+ [2] Both the input and output buffers are copied from the
+ user and written back to the user, even when not used.
+
+ [3] If one or more bits are set in out_flags and in_flags is
+ zero, the following values are used for in_flags.all and
+ written back into in_flags on completion.
+
+ * IDE_TASKFILE_STD_IN_FLAGS | (IDE_HOB_STD_IN_FLAGS << 8)
+ if LBA48 addressing is enabled for the drive
+ * IDE_TASKFILE_STD_IN_FLAGS
+ if CHS/LBA28
+
+ The association between in_flags.all and each enable
+ bitfield flips depending on endianness; fortunately, TASKFILE
+ only uses inflags.b.data bit and ignores all other bits.
+ The end result is that, on any endian machines, it has no
+ effect other than modifying in_flags on completion.
+
+ [4] The default value of SELECT is (0xa0|DEV_bit|LBA_bit)
+ except for four drives per port chipsets. For four drives
+ per port chipsets, it's (0xa0|DEV_bit|LBA_bit) for the first
+ pair and (0x80|DEV_bit|LBA_bit) for the second pair.
+
+ [5] The argument to the ioctl is a pointer to a region of
+ memory containing a ide_task_request_t structure, followed
+ by an optional buffer of data to be transmitted to the
+ drive, followed by an optional buffer to receive data from
+ the drive.
+
+ Command is passed to the disk drive via the ide_task_request_t
+ structure, which contains these fields:
+
+ io_ports[8] values for the taskfile registers
+ hob_ports[8] high-order bytes, for extended commands
+ out_flags flags indicating which entries in the
+ io_ports[] and hob_ports[] arrays
+ contain valid values. Type ide_reg_valid_t.
+ in_flags flags indicating which entries in the
+ io_ports[] and hob_ports[] arrays
+ are expected to contain valid values
+ on return.
+ data_phase See below
+ req_cmd Command type, see below
+ out_size output (user->drive) buffer size, bytes
+ in_size input (drive->user) buffer size, bytes
+
+ When out_flags is zero, the following registers are loaded.
+
+ HOB_FEATURE If the drive supports LBA48
+ HOB_NSECTOR If the drive supports LBA48
+ HOB_SECTOR If the drive supports LBA48
+ HOB_LCYL If the drive supports LBA48
+ HOB_HCYL If the drive supports LBA48
+ FEATURE
+ NSECTOR
+ SECTOR
+ LCYL
+ HCYL
+ SELECT First, masked with 0xE0 if LBA48, 0xEF
+ otherwise; then, or'ed with the default
+ value of SELECT.
+
+ If any bit in out_flags is set, the following registers are loaded.
+
+ HOB_DATA If out_flags.b.data is set. HOB_DATA will
+ travel on DD8-DD15 on little endian machines
+ and on DD0-DD7 on big endian machines.
+ DATA If out_flags.b.data is set. DATA will
+ travel on DD0-DD7 on little endian machines
+ and on DD8-DD15 on big endian machines.
+ HOB_NSECTOR If out_flags.b.nsector_hob is set
+ HOB_SECTOR If out_flags.b.sector_hob is set
+ HOB_LCYL If out_flags.b.lcyl_hob is set
+ HOB_HCYL If out_flags.b.hcyl_hob is set
+ FEATURE If out_flags.b.feature is set
+ NSECTOR If out_flags.b.nsector is set
+ SECTOR If out_flags.b.sector is set
+ LCYL If out_flags.b.lcyl is set
+ HCYL If out_flags.b.hcyl is set
+ SELECT Or'ed with the default value of SELECT and
+ loaded regardless of out_flags.b.select.
+
+ Taskfile registers are read back from the drive into
+ {io|hob}_ports[] after the command completes iff one of the
+ following conditions is met; otherwise, the original values
+ will be written back, unchanged.
+
+ 1. The drive fails the command (EIO).
+ 2. One or more than one bits are set in out_flags.
+ 3. The requested data_phase is TASKFILE_NO_DATA.
+
+ HOB_DATA If in_flags.b.data is set. It will contain
+ DD8-DD15 on little endian machines and
+ DD0-DD7 on big endian machines.
+ DATA If in_flags.b.data is set. It will contain
+ DD0-DD7 on little endian machines and
+ DD8-DD15 on big endian machines.
+ HOB_FEATURE If the drive supports LBA48
+ HOB_NSECTOR If the drive supports LBA48

+ HOB_LCYL If the drive supports LBA48
+ HOB_HCYL If the drive supports LBA48
+ NSECTOR
+ SECTOR
+ LCYL

+
+ The data_phase field describes the data transfer to be
+ performed. Value is one of:
+
+ TASKFILE_IN
+ TASKFILE_MULTI_IN
+ TASKFILE_OUT

+ IDE_DRIVE_TASK_NO_DATA
+ IDE_DRIVE_TASK_SET_XFER unimplemented
+ IDE_DRIVE_TASK_IN
+ IDE_DRIVE_TASK_OUT unimplemented
+ IDE_DRIVE_TASK_RAW_WRITE
+
+ [6] Do not access {in|out}_flags->all except for resetting

+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/.
