Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2009 22:30:15 -0200 From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@...oscopio.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: device@...ana.org, akpm@...ux-foundation.org, rubini@...dd.com, gregkh@...e.de, hpa@...or.com, Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@...oscopio.com> Subject: [PATCH 1/3] misc: clear allocation bit in minor bitmap when device register fails If there's a failure creating the device (because there's already one with the same name, for example), the current implementation does not clear the bit for the allocated minor and that number is lost for future allocations. Second, the test currently in misc_deregister is broken, since it does not test for the 0 minor.
