Ext2: Device Driver Development [part 3]

“In the previous installments of this article, I showed how to
export a /proc interface from kernel space, and then how to get

“This time, I’ll give an example of something which could be
exported.”

Some of the code in this article has changed somewhat to
the previous articles, but the functionality remains the same.

I had mail after part 1 of this article from Jeff Garzik who

driver. For now we will concentrate on writing a driver from
scratch (Well, not really as this code is based heavily on the
nvram driver).”
