Hi Stefan, Your patch will work OK in a lot of settings, but there are unfortunately also some very nasty cases where it will fail miserably because refcounting dev_t's is not safe yet.
There are a few remaining issues to deal with before we can properly refcount dev_t's, and that is more or less all the places in the kernel which uses makedev(). As you may have noticed I've started evicting these from the console related code. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
