Did you notice the comment above the function? ;-) You should really add the new ioctls to compat_sys_ioctl, not to the COMPATIBLE_IOCTL() list, in order to make the behavior consistent between 32 and 64 bit user space. The main difference is that all ioctl commands that are hardcoded in the functions get called before trying to call the file system specific .ioctl method.

This should be _IOW, not _IOR. Otherwise looks good. Arnd
