ioctl is not called if cmd = 2

Question

I am developing a kernel module that uses unlocked_ioctl. I tested it with kernel version 2.6.24-23-generic and it works perfectly. Now I tried it with kernel version 3.3.1-

Answer 1

Take a look on this:

 546 int do_vfs_ioctl(struct file *filp, unsigned int fd, unsigned int cmd,
 547             unsigned long arg)
 548 {
 549        int error = 0;
 550        int __user *argp = (int __user *)arg;
 551        struct inode *inode = filp->f_path.dentry->d_inode;
 552
 553        switch (cmd) {
 554        case FIOCLEX:
 555                set_close_on_exec(fd, 1);
 556                break;
 557
 558        case FIONCLEX:
 559                set_close_on_exec(fd, 0);
 560                break;
 561
 562        case FIONBIO:
 563                error = ioctl_fionbio(filp, argp);
 564                break;
 565
 566        case FIOASYNC:
 567                error = ioctl_fioasync(fd, filp, argp);
 568                break;
 569
 570        case FIOQSIZE:
 571                if (S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode) || S_ISREG(inode->i_mode) ||
 572                    S_ISLNK(inode->i_mode)) {
 573                        loff_t res = inode_get_bytes(inode);
 574                        error = copy_to_user(argp, &res, sizeof(res)) ?
 575                                        -EFAULT : 0;
 576                } else
 577                        error = -ENOTTY;
 578                break;
 579
 580        case FIFREEZE:
 581                error = ioctl_fsfreeze(filp);
 582                break;
 583
 584        case FITHAW:
 585                error = ioctl_fsthaw(filp);
 586                break;
 587
 588        case FS_IOC_FIEMAP:
 589                return ioctl_fiemap(filp, arg);
 590
 591        case FIGETBSZ:
 592                return put_user(inode->i_sb->s_blocksize, argp);
 593
 594        default:
 595                if (S_ISREG(inode->i_mode))
 596                        error = file_ioctl(filp, cmd, arg);
 597                else
 598                        error = vfs_ioctl(filp, cmd, arg);
 599                break;
 600        }
 601        return error;
 602 

As you can see, there is some of the switch-cases before vfs_ioctl or file_ioctl call.

Answer 2

As pointed out by @Ilya, You are hitting a generic case (FIGETBSZ in this case).

In general, you want to compose your ioctl commands using the _IO family of macros, with a unique type, to avoid collisions.

I suggest reading ioctl-number.txt from the kernel documentation for more information, including a list of most used types
