Hi all,
So after reading the responses from all of you and to not end up in (just only) long discussions I'd suggest that we start to identify the IOCTL's needed and how the structure(s) used to pass the data from user space to the kernel should look like. However, just to cut the discussions to a minimum, let's start with just putting the IOC's needed and let's deal with the data later on. Also, I think I will post this as a new thread on the mailing list.
By the way, when speaking about mailing list. If you have the possibility to use an email client with thread view, then I encourage you to consider using it, since it makes much more sense when responding to individual post(s) within the same thread compared to seeing the complete thread in a linear view.
Also regarding this email list. Please note that it is a public list, which means anyone can find it and subscribe to it. I have no problem that it is public, in fact I encourage that people that are interested in taking part of the discussions joins the list. In the end, this is open source we are talking about. But I just want to make you aware of this.
Lastly, the intention with a list like this is _not_ to replace the traditional Linux Kernel Mailing List. This is just a first step for us to smoke out the initial open questions. As soon as we start to send patches to LKML, I'd hope that the discussion will move from here to there instead (at least discussion strictly related to the kernel driver).
