Marcelo,

I didn't apply and build it, but it looks very much like the
patch that I sent to you on 2003-04-17 [1], to which you replied: [2]
Saved to 2.4.22-pre folder.

I suggest that you apply it. :)

Any reason not to simply allocate static ops struct? As in:

static struct seq_operations single_ops = {
.start = single_start;
.next = single_next;
.stop = single_stop;
.show = show;
};

int single_open()
{
req = seq_open(file, &single_ops);
...
}

thanks,
-chris

Bah, nevermind, I didn't look closely enough to see that show is
dynamic here (not to mention it is simple straight backport). Sorry for
senseless noise ;-)
