Subject: Question on porting 2.2.x driver to 2.4.x (reference namei)
Date: Sun, 22 Jul 2001 22:16:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <010201c1131d$7359d150$9865fea9@optima> (raw)

Hi all,

    I'm trying to port iBCS to the 2.4.x kernels.  One of the compile
problems I've run into is that the 2.4.x kernel includes lack a namei()
function definition.  I figure this function has been removed however what
is its replacement?  Or at least how do I replace its functionality?  The
section of code in iBCS in which this is used looks like this:

dentry = namei(path);
error = PTR_ERR(dentry);

if (!IS_ERR(dentry)) {


Thanks in advance for any help.
