I don't want to answer for Alison, however I would like to point out that i= n=20 this same thread there are several suggestions, both from Alison and Julia,= on=20 how to find tasks in "driver/staging". Scroll through the thread again and see if it helps you find more tasks.=20 Alison's first post explains an effective way to find something in drivers/ staging Thank you, =46abio PS: I think applicants shouldn't overlook Julia's post about certain macros= =20 evaluating in container_of(). As Julia suggested, you can work on convertin= g=20 these macros into function definitions.=20 =46urthermore, this kind of work would help to understand the working and=20 implementation details of container_of(), itself a macro used a lot in the= =20 drivers and core subsystems of the entire Kernel. Isn't anyone interested in this kind of tasks?
