Hi folks.
I noticed that proc_lookup is not exported in fs/proc/procfs_syms.c but
that the function is an external in include/linux/proc_fs.h.
Not every public function needs to be exported. proc_lookup() is
shared
Jeff,
Thanks for the comments. This patch has been hanging too long already, the
drivers should be updated as given and I'll work up all the fixes and
another patch.

Hi,
this is my try for implementing the llseek operation on raw devices. The
reason is that lseek does a check on the limits of the undlying
filesystem and thus tends to err where the real device lies. Lseek check
takes the /dev/raw/rawX filesystem as limiting factor, not the device
that is bound
use vanilla 2.4.x, you can simply copy drivers/net/starfire.c from the -ac
tree.
I can't use 2.4 kernels ATM because they don't boot (at all) on Cobalt
hardware for some reason - when I've got chance I'll look into it and try
and fix the 2.4 kernels so they work on Cobalt kit, but ATM

This must be a Troll. MS-DOS didn't have spin-locks and, when you
have multiple CPUs with one interrupt

No. Sizes are not "logical". They are whatever you decide they are, ie
it's purely a complier convention.
At least earlier, size_t was defined as "unsigned int" in user mode, and
