News from the driver porting series
[Posted November 12, 2003 by corbet]
The LWN Porting Drivers to 2.6
series is currently going through an extensive review. Since the first
set of articles came out last February, quite a few things have changed and
a number of the articles have become a little stale. Trying to keep up
with the kernel is like that... The updating process is a little over
halfway complete as of this writing; we should be able to finish within a
week or so.
Most of the articles require only small changes at most. The "creating
virtual filesystems with libfs" article, however, has been significantly
expanded, thanks to the addition of simple_fill_super(). For
those who are curious, the newer, bigger version of the article appears
below.
