It has add_gendisk, del_gendisk, get_gendisk, blk_gendisk[] (a.k.a. register_gendisk, unregister_gendisk, find_gendisk), so that one now can find the gendisk structure given a kdev_t. Interestingly, there were complaints several places in the source about the lack of these, but none of the complainers added them. Al, I don't know whether you are interested in this stuff, but comments (other than: "the stuff is full of races") are welcome. Andries
