| |
Hi all,
I am trying to work out what changes have actually been implemented since 2.2 with respect of setting up nodes of information about drivers in /proc. I realise that it used to be proc_dir_entry {} but somewhere along the line it got changes to being a dynamically allocated thing. But from what I can glean fom the current code in the 2.4test branch it seems to be combined with the PCI intialization.?? (Least for the SCSI drivers it is)
I am trying to port a 2.2 driver over to 2.4 and cannot find any clear documentation about what has changed or why. And yes I have scanned this list but it never seems to have made it to a topic of great debate.
Is there a clear resource I can use to find out the new secrets, or am I really gonna have to wait for the new edition of Linux Device Drivers to come out??? ;) Hopefully explaining it all in there?
Any help people?
Thanks for your time.
Damon.
