WHY it smells like a hack? It was designed precisely to do that. I am
using cloned devices in our product with great success. Every client
opening 'magic' device gets its own exclusive cloned device instance
and everything works like a charm. I am yet to hear any single coherent
description of what Linux's approach has over device cloning in FreeBSD.
I wouldn't mind being educated on this.
OK, it's a lack of my knowledge. It seemed a bit unnatural to me
to create device nodes instead of keeping a single pointer and I decided
it was supposed to do something other then keeping per-open instance.
It would be great to have this event/mechanism documented for I'd found
it looking through source code in /usr/src/sys. Not the worst place to
get information but man pages are better :)
