Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:38:01 -0500 Message-ID: <4CC88DA9.7010103@freescale.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: Sender: linux-console-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" To: linux-console@vger.kernel.org Is anyone reading this mailing list? I presume that since it's called "linux-console" and hosted on kernel.org, that this is the right place to ask for help with writing console drivers. However, it doesn't appear that anyone is actually reading this list, so I want to make sure I'm not wasting my time here. I'm trying to write a console/TTY driver that is not a UART driver, and I can't seem to find a good example of such a driver out there. Specfically, my driver has an interrupt handler that calls tty_insert_flip_string() when it receives new input. What I don't understand is how am I supposed to know what "struct tty_struct" to use for this function. It appears that it's possible to open the TTY device multiple times, each time with a different struct tty_struct. But I can only have one interrupt handler, so I don't know how I'm supposed to determine which of the many struct tty_struct pointers to use. -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale
