It seems we can use ctags, while, I don't really know how to

implement it.

I don't want to use the online cross reference every time...

I personally use KDevelop to navigate the kernel. It's not perfect yet
and a little bit tricky to configure correctly, but it's still pretty
efficient and I work on improving it. I wrote about it recently:
http://www.gnurou.org/code/kdevelop-kernel

CTags is also known to work well, actually there is even a 'make tags'
target in the kernel's Makefile.

Hope this helps,
Alex.

Has anybody found a tool the solves this kind of problem well?
Specifically, given a struct foo containing a field named bar, show me
all of the code that references the bar field of struct foos but not

the

bar fields of other structures nor instances of variables that are
themselves named bar.

It's not free, but I use Visual SlickEdit, and it is capable of doing what
you want.

I tried what you suggested, and clicked on the cb field inside the sk_buff
struct and asked for all references to that. I checked through most of what
it returned and they all seemed to be valid.
