Date: Sun, 14 Sep 2014 19:35:28 +0200 From: Stephan Müller <fruktopus@...il.com> To: Linux Kernel Mailing List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> CC: linux-api@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] Change userspace MKDEV, MAJOR, MINOR-macros from 8+8 bit, to 12+20 bit layout Delete old userspace-only versions (8+8 bit). Instead expose the kernel-space definitions (12+20 bit). Signed-off-by: Stephan Mueller <fruktopus@...il.com> --- Browsing some code I found that user-space and kernel-space macros for (un-)packing major/minor device numbers differ. The user-space ones using still the old 16 bit scheme. There was no explaining comment around and most libraries have their own macros anyway so it should not be a problematic UAPI change. So IMHO we could win some coherence in abandon this discrepancy.
