Prev: linux-next: build failure after merge of the net tree
Next: [PATCH 0/1] drivers: misc: pass pointer to misc device itself
From: Samu Onkalo on 3 May 2010 01:40 For misc devices, inode->i_cdev doesn't point to the device drivers own data. Link between file operations and device driver internal data is lost. Pass pointer to misc device struct via file private data for driver open function use.
