Subject: [PATCH] Export new char dev functions
Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 12:18:02 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030916181802.6046.qmail@lwn.net> (raw)
Nobody told me that the failure to export these (like their block
counterparts) was anything but an oversight; modules will not be able to
use larger device numbers without them. So...this patch exports the new
char device functions.
