Subject: Should osst call cdev_alloc()
Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2004 17:10:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1098551404l.3844l.1l@serve.riede.org> (raw)

Currently, sg.c and st.c contain calls to cdev_alloc() and friends:


[wriede@serve kernel]$ find linux-2.6.9 -name '*.c' | xargs grep cdev_alloc
linux-2.6.9/drivers/s390/char/tape_class.c:     tcd->char_device =
cdev_alloc();
linux-2.6.9/drivers/scsi/sg.c:  cdev = cdev_alloc();
linux-2.6.9/drivers/scsi/sg.c:          printk(KERN_WARNING "cdev_alloc
failed\n");
linux-2.6.9/drivers/scsi/st.c:                  cdev = cdev_alloc();
linux-2.6.9/fs/char_dev.c:      cdev = cdev_alloc();
linux-2.6.9/fs/char_dev.c:struct cdev *cdev_alloc(void)
linux-2.6.9/fs/char_dev.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(cdev_alloc);


My question is: should osst do the same? It seems to work just fine without.

Please cc me on answers, as I'm currently not subscribed to linux-kernel.

Thanks, Willem Riede,
osst maintainer
