I'm creating a usb device driver that needs to be able to read from two different endpoints. I couldn't see any way of having two read functions in the driver, so I got round this by reading from one of the endpoints with read, and the other with ioctl.

However this hasn't worked, the ioctl call from c returns -1. I added a printk command in the driver in the ioctl function, however looking at kern.log I can see that this function is never being called.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem called be, or a better method of being able to read from two different endpoints?

very little info.. for debugging, check if printing in the kernel is enabled, maybe debug printing is not enabled in your kernel source so there are no prints. then check if your driver is registered properly, along with its file operations. your read/ioctl call could be using the read/ioctl function of an existing usb driver.

Debugging is enabled, and the read command works fine, so does write, flush, release, probe etc, its just the ioctl command. I've changed the contents of the ioctl command to just a printk statement, however I'm still getting -1 returned and no debug messages from the function are being displayed.
