Hi all, Sorry if this has been covered before, I just want to clarify a comment about the size of the tty_struct structure that I see in older kernels (2.4.22 era). tty.h: "IMPORTANT: since this structure is dynamically allocated, it must be no larger than 4096 bytes. Changing TTY_FLIPBUF_SIZE will change the size of this structure, and it needs to be done with care." Doing some research I believe this comment is from a time when the TTY structures were allocated using get_zeroed_page(), hence the page size looking limit in the comment. Since kmalloc() is now used it would seem that this comment no longer applies, however I wanted to make sure that the 4K limit is not there for another reason. So, do I need to worry about the size of tty_struct (I'm going to experiment with the flip buffer, on 2.4.22)?
