Calling the character device interface "procfs interface" is misleading, so I disagree with this part of the patch: + Note: pktsetup uses the pktcdvd procfs interface! The only connection pktsetup has with procfs is that it reads the character device minor number from /proc/misc. If that number was available somewhere else or if udev created /dev/pktcdvd/control automatically, pktsetup wouldn't need /proc at all. Actually, checking my FC5 installation, /dev/pktcdvd/control is created automatically when the driver is loaded, so the /proc code in pktsetup is only needed to cope with older distributions. -- Peter Osterlund - petero2@...ia.com http://web.telia.com/~u89404340 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
