ds_notify does a dev_port_lookup that acuires a reference. This reference is not released. So when the last user goes away, and the notification is sent, there is one reference. Then the refcount is increased to 2 by dev_port_lookup, and then lowered to 1. The device is never actually released. Now, I added a second device_deallocate to this function. This makes sure the device is actually destroyed. However, this breaks stuff: The minimal console doesn't seem to work anymore, and the problem that I can not open the kbd device for readonly once and then for writing the second time still persists. So I am not going to check in this change right now. This requires more debugging and/or code staring. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
