Subject: How can I locate a struct's defination?
Hi,
I use emacs and tags to read kernel source. The tags is create by
make tags
in the kernel source tree. When I want to find a struct's defination,
something goes wrong. For example: when I find *dentry* , the first result is:
struct rchan_buf
{
...
struct dentry *dentry; /* channel file dentry */
...
}
There are so many items like this before I find
struct dentry
{
}
How can I find the struct's defination directly?
Thanks.

Create an account and sign up for the linux project.
It is a proprietary platform but you can sign up for free and it is the best
code browser out there. It beats ctags, cscope, etc. by a mile.

Usually the definition has the curly brace on the same line, like this:
struct dentry {.
Just search for {, it work in vim.
