Re: Kernel Support in Linux PPC

Hi

have you used the ntohl (and similar) conversion methods?

Yeah exactly i ve used it but apart from that will there be any big
surprises as such when i migrate it to PPC with the latest (2.6.26)
kernel ?

Sorry i didnt mention this point in my previous post

I would also like to know the changes done with respect to PPC
architecture in the latest kernel. Any link on that could also be of
some help

Thanks for your time

Cheers,
Balaji

Hi

I am developing a Linux Kernel Module which basically would do native
bridging with VLAN and RSTP. The LKM basically would make use of
sk_buff ,net_device, timers, locks etc. I am developing this in i386
platform and the kernel version is 2.6.15.4 and it works fine as of
now. Now i need to move from i386 to PPC architecture with the same
version of the kernel and then move from 2.6.15.4 to 2.6.26 in the PPC
architecture.

I would like to know whether would i face any big surprises/changes
apart from the sk_buff and netdevice data structure changes in the
latest versions of the kernel ?

Thanks for your help

Cheers,
Balaji
