dear sir
i want to declare and initialise a static int variable at linux/proc_fs.h
(i want to make it a global variable)
i variable will change its value in the /fs/proc/root.c
and the function is there in /kernel/fork.c which recodes the value of the global variable got changed in the root.c file
as the root.c includes the proc_fs.h
and i am making the fork.c to include the proc_fs.h
but the problem is the fork.c isnt able to identify the changes made in the root.c since there is no direct link..
my question is
how to declare a global variable that will be present in both root.c and fork.c
any changes made in the variable in root.c must reflect in the fork.c
what is the procedure
in which places i have to declare the variables and with what syntax
can you suggest a way to declare a global variable which will reflect in these files
thanks sounak
