Description Alexander 2013-08-08 09:50:00 UTC 
Linux contain more precise way to locate lock free version of "ioctl" function.

Current implementation is based on kernel version, and does not detect proper "ioctl" version on old kernels (RedHat 6.3, kernel 2.6.32).

Patch is attached.

Comment 4 Vincenzo Maffione freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-01-09 15:12:51 UTC 
Not relevant anymore.
Current netmap on linux uses a "compile-probes" approach to detect kernel features, rather than relying on version numbers.
