Probably something like the current interface for USB minor numbers when CONFIG_USB_DYNAMIC_MINORS is enabled. The drivers will request a certian major/minor, but the kernel will just give it whatever it feels like. That's my first guess, actual implementation will probably differ wildly :) thanks, greg k-h From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Greg KH Date: Sat, 03 Jan 2004 22:11:22 +0000 Subject: Re: udev and devfs - The final word Message-Id: <20040103221121.GI11061@kroah.com> List-Id: References: <20031231002942.GB2875@kroah.com> <20040101011855.GA13628@hh.idb.hist.no> <20040103055938.GD5306@kroah.com> <20040103152241.GA5531@hh.idb.hist.no> In-Reply-To: <20040103152241.GA5531@hh.idb.hist.no> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Helge Hafting Cc: linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org On Sat, Jan 03, 2004 at 04:22:41PM +0100, Helge Hafting wrote: > > Hopefully I can work on fixing this up in 2.7. > > Interesting - how do you plan to do this?
