Subject: /proc parent &proc_root == NULL?
Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2005 18:04:56 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41F82218.1080705@comcast.net> (raw)

Hash: SHA1
proc_misc_init() has both these lines in it:
entry = create_proc_entry("kmsg", S_IRUSR, &proc_root);
proc_root_kcore = create_proc_entry("kcore", S_IRUSR, NULL);
Both entries show up in /proc, as /proc/kmsg and /proc/kcore. So I ask,
as I can't see after several minutes of examination, what's the
difference? Why is NULL used for some and &proc_root used for others?
I'm looking at 2.6.10
