Subject: 2.6 api host private area?
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2003 14:44:26 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F16EE8A.20203@pobox.com> (raw)

Where is the pointer for the scsi_host_alloc private area stored?

In the net driver subsystem, alloc_etherdev() stores this in the 
dev->priv pointer.

I see clearly that scsi_host_alloc allocates the correct size (scsi_host 
+ privsize), but it forces each LLD to duplicate nasty pointer 
arithmetic required to obtain the pointer to the private area.
