Porting drivers to 2.5
Last week's Kernel Page included the first
articles in a series on porting
device drivers (and other kernel code) to the 2.5 kernel. These articles
are an offshoot of the work to update the Linux Device
Drivers sample code (and then, of course, the book itself). Three
more articles have been added to the
series; one of them, which fills in more information on porting to the new
module loader, appears below. The other two (on miscellaneous changes and the seq_file interface) can be read
separately.
These articles will be collected at lwn.net/Articles/driver-porting as the
series continues to develop. With
luck, they will become a useful resource for the kernel development
community. Stay tuned...
