To do what you want it sounds like you want your handler to take something like:
struct var_ioctl {
int len;
void *data;
};
Then then handler itself would have to use copyin/copyout to access
the data. There's no simpler way.
I think I found the simpler way, see the draft patch below.
Generic macro _IOWRE will handle the case when the first integer in
ioctl parameter holds the actual size of the structure.
This way of passing the variable array sizes is quite common in various
APIs.
Other potential uses would also benefit from this.
