Subject: why is "struct cdev *cdev" in char_device_struct listed as "will die"?
Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2010 06:37:38 -0400 (EDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.00.1007130635570.4840@lynx> (raw)
just perusing fs/char_dev.c and noticed this:
static struct char_device_struct {
struct char_device_struct *next;
unsigned int major;
unsigned int baseminor;
int minorct;
char name[64];
struct cdev *cdev; /* will die */
} *chrdevs[CHRDEV_MAJOR_HASH_SIZE];
so ... why "will die"? deprecated? obsolete?
