Hi Ben,

Maybe today I'll get a clear block to finish reading through these!

Anyhow, some comments inline.

Perhaps this would be better after the structure definition?

These look to be indented too far.

This path could do with an explanatory comment.

Perhaps clearer to fill in the n_commands field of q?

That doesn't look right. Shouldn't be returning -ENOTTY in either of the success
paths.
