Hi, I use emacs and tags to read kernel source. The tags is create by
make tags
in the kernel source tree. When I want to find a struct's defination, something goes wrong. For example: when I find *dentry* , the first result is:
struct rchan_buf { ... struct dentry *dentry; /* channel file dentry */ ... }
There are so many items like this before I find
struct dentry { .... }
How can I find the struct's defination directly?
Thanks.
