However creating an alias without specifying the minor doesn't allow us to create the node ahead, triggerring module auto-load when it's first accessed. Starting with depmod from kmod 16 we started to warn if there's a devname alias without specifying the major and minor. Let's do the same done for uhid, kvm, fuse and others, specifying a fixed minor. In systems with systemd as the init the following will happen: on early boot systemd will call "kmod static-nodes" to read /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname and then create the nodes. When first accessed these "dead" nodes will trigger the module loading. Signed-off-by: Lucas De Marchi --- Changes from v1: - use minor=137, since 240 is reserved for local use We talked about using 197, but that's being used by pxa3xx-gcu, too.
