Hello, In timer.h of 4.9, struct timer_list contains a field data which is unsigned long. In timer.c, call_timer_fn calls the triggered function with data as parameter. As of 5.0, the field data disappears from struct timer_list and call_timer_fn is used with a struct timer_list * as parameter. Is there some info about this change somewhere ?
Yes, in the kernel changelog itself, have you looked? Try just looking at the log and changes for a specific file instead of the whole thing: git log -p path/to/a/single/file.c 4.9 -> 5.0 is a HUGE jump, many years there, you might want to go in smaller steps :) thanks, greg k-h
