The SCC_MAGIC define was removed in commit1ec3ba93c5("Staging: remove drivers/char/scc.h as it should have gone a while ago"), while its actual last user was removed before in commitbb2a97e9cc("Staging: delete generic_serial drivers").

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.
