hi all, i want to create a new link list of data structures( define by me) in kernel space. for that what are the essential steps to make this link list known to kernel??
I don't know if I got it right. But if what you want is to create a linked list for your data structures, you have to use the kernel linked list API. A good explanation about how is implemented and how to use it is in the kernel newbies website. http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ/LinkedLists Also the Linux Device Drivers 3 book has an excelent section that covers the linked list API http://www.makelinux.net/ldd3/chp-11-sect-5.shtml You can look at the complete API in the kernel.org website http://www.kernel.org/doc/htmldocs/kernel-api/adt.html#id484623 Best regards, -- ----------------------------------------- Javier Martínez Canillas (+34) 682 39 81 69 PhD Student in High Performance Computing Computer Architecture and Operating System Department (CAOS) Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Barcelona, Spain
