These serial drivers were removed in kernel v3.1, so we can drop their documentation files and references to their magic numbers and parameters. There are still references to these old drivers in Documentation/devices.txt but I'm afraid they can't be removed.

This file is a registry of magic numbers which are in use. When you
|
|
add a magic number to a structure, you should also add it to this
|
|
file, since it is best if the magic numbers used by various structures
|
|
are unique.
|
|
|
|
It is a *very* good idea to protect kernel data structures with magic
|
|
numbers. This allows you to check at run time whether (a) a structure
|
|
has been clobbered, or (b) you've passed the wrong structure to a
|
|
routine. This last is especially useful --- particularly when you are
|
|
passing pointers to structures via a void * pointer. The tty code,
|
|
for example, does this frequently to pass driver-specific and line
|
|
discipline-specific structures back and forth.
|
|
|
|
The way to use magic numbers is to declare then at the beginning of
|
|
the structure, like so:
|
|
|
|
struct tty_ldisc {
|
|
int magic;
|
|
...
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
Please follow this discipline when you are adding future enhancements
|
|
to the kernel! It has saved me countless hours of debugging,
|
|
especially in the screwy cases where an array has been overrun and
|
|
structures following the array have been overwritten. Using this
|
|
discipline, these cases get detected quickly and safely.

The magic table is current to Linux 2.1.55.

Now it should be up to date with Linux 2.1.112. Because
|
|
we are in feature freeze time it is very unlikely that
|
|
something will change before 2.2.x. The entries are
|
|
sorted by number field.

Updated the magic table to Linux 2.5.45. Right over the feature freeze,
|
|
but it is possible that some new magic numbers will sneak into the
|
|
kernel before 2.6.x yet.

Note that there are also defined special per-driver magic numbers in sound
|
|
memory management. See include/sound/sndmagic.h for complete list of them. Many
|
|
OSS sound drivers have their magic numbers constructed from the soundcard PCI
|
|
ID - these are not listed here as well.
|
|
|
|
IrDA subsystem also uses large number of own magic numbers, see
|
|
include/net/irda/irda.h for a complete list of them.
|
|
|
|
HFS is another larger user of magic numbers - you can find them in
|
|
fs/hfs/hfs.h.
