Subject: EXPORT_SYMBOL for chrdev_open 2.4.3
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2001 17:32:56 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010413173256.A14267@vger.timpanogas.org> (raw)
It would be nice if chrdev_open were added to ksyms.c along with
blkdev_open since tape devices seem are always registered as character
rather than block devices.
I am finding that kernel modules that need to open and close a tape
drive have to export chrdev_open manually on 2.4.3. Can this get
exported as well? Closing is not a problem since the method of
calling (->release) seems to work OK with SCSI tape devices.
:-)
