From: Richard Gooch <rgooch@ras.ucalgary.ca> To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, devfs-announce-list@vindaloo.ras.ucalgary.ca Subject: [PATCH] devfs v209 available Date: Sun, 7 Apr 2002 13:56:40 -0600 Hi, all. Version 209 of my devfs patch is now available from: http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/kernel-patches.html The devfs FAQ is also available here. Patch directly available from: ftp://ftp.??.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rgooch/v2.5/devfs-patch-current.gz AND: ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/people/rgooch/linux/kernel-patches/v2.5/devfs-patch-current.gz NOTE: kernel 2.5.1 and later require devfsd-v1.3.19 or later. This is against 2.5.8-pre2. Highlights of this release: - Updated README from master HTML file - Removed silently introduced calls to lock_kernel() and unlock_kernel() due to recent VFS locking changes. BKL isn't required in devfs - Changed <devfs_rmdir> to allow later additions if not yet empty - Added calls to <devfs_register_partitions> in drivers/block/blkpc.c <add_partition> and <del_partition> - Fixed bug in <devfs_alloc_unique_number>: was clearing beyond bitfield - Fixed bitfield data type for <devfs_*alloc_devnum> - Made major bitfield type and initialiser 64 bit safe Regards, Richard....
