Hello,

I am trying to port a kernel module from 2.4.x kernel to 2.6.33.

I've a problem with tty_struct that had a device member at 2.4.x kernel but it doesn't has a device member at 2.6.33 kernel.

Is there any function to retrieve device member of tty_struct structure? What can I do retrieve device member of tty_struct that doesn't exist at 2.6.33 kernel?

For definition of tty_struct for 2.6.33 kernel:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source...?v=2.6.33#L252

Thanks in advance.

Can you use tty_devnum (see line 451)?

I've googled a lot about this compiling error.

There was a patch exists:

+struct device *tty_get_device(struct tty_struct *tty)
+{
+ dev_t devt = tty_devnum(tty);
+ return class_find_device(tty_class, NULL, &devt, dev_match_devt);
+}

+struct device *tty_get_device(struct tty_struct *tty);

But I haven't chance to patch and recompile the kernel.

Is there any solution without patch and recompiling the kernel?

Is it possible to retrieve device struct only using the tty_devnum?

Thanks for response.

Thanks in advance.

Just call these two lines where you need to retrieve the device structure.

Problem is solved with your answer.

Thanks.
