Sorry I know what a #define is doing, but in this case I've no idea why it's used and what it's trying to achieve.
This is from the rtl8192u driver in staging, where the alloc function (alloc_ieee80211) which is called by the probe function (rtl8192_usb_probe). So that's all good but a quick grep through the code and in the file drivers/staging/rtl8192u/ieee80211/ieee80211.h there's a line which defines that function as another function '_rsl' which don't exist anywhere in Kernel. #define alloc_ieee80211 alloc_ieee80211_rsl So what am I missing or why are a number of functions being redefined as another name, which doesn't exist? I'm tempted to remove any that don't exist but I should really find out what it is the lines are doing. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
