What type of "Host Bus Adapter" needs to be a char driver? What userspace programs are talking to this device? Why do you need to be a kernel driver at all and not just a UIO userspace driver? Anyway, there's nothing "special" you need to do for x32 that you shouldn't have already done properly for your char interface to handle a mixture of 32/64bit kernel and userspace issues. So again, nothing should change, other than making sure you properly handle mixed user/kernel bit sizes properly. Do you have a pointer to your source code anywhere? thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
