This part looks strange, why do we run the code that calls the ioctl in
a separate thread if we are sleeping after the thread has been created
and quite likely the thread will finish before the main thread returns
from the sleep?

Why can we just call the ioctl_thread() sequentially here?

The whitespaces here are all messed up.
