Looking for info on writing 64 bit drivers

Posted May 24, 2006 22:47 UTC (Wed) by Eliot (subscriber, #19701)
Parent article: Linux Device Drivers, Third Edition now online

One topic that I'd really like to see as an addendum, or in LDD4 ;-) is 64 bit compatibility. Either as a new chapter, or distributed through the book.

E.g Cover compat_ioctl vs unlocked_ioctl, DMA, 64/32 compatibility etc.

Does anybody have any pointers to existing online text on this subjecct?
