I'm trying to update some of the code for the Alpha arch. Seems that the
task_struct struct was changed, but the changes were not reflected in all
the platforms.
These two have nailed me so far:
task_struct->p_opptr
task_struct->p_pptr
What were they changed to, and is it just a one line fix, or is it more
involved?

p_pptr changed to parent and you could just swap them in the code,
IE:
task_struct->p_pptr would become task_struct->parent
Not sure about the p_opptr, but I bet you'll find the same type of change.
I found this on Sparc64 as well, if you grep the 2.5.7 patch file, you
should be able to find p_opptr pretty quickly, I bet.
Hope this helps..

As a matter of fact, I did it for you, and it looks like you'll need this
for p_opptr:
p_opptr became real_parent
task_struct->p_opptr would become task_struct->real_parent
Hope this helps you out..

Thanks it did help.
I guessed right, but just wanted to make sure.
And I found p_opptr became real_parent, if anyone else was wondering.
