Hi Lucas, >>> Commit bfacbb9 (Bluetooth: Use devname:vhci module alias for virtual HCI >>> driver) added the module alias to hci_vhci module so it's possible to >>> create the /dev/vhci node. However creating an alias without >>> specifying the minor doesn't allow us to create the node ahead, >>> triggerring module auto-load when it's first accessed. >>> >>> Starting with depmod from kmod 16 we started to warn if there's a >>> devname alias without specifying the major and minor. >>> >>> Let's do the same done for uhid, kvm, fuse and others, specifying a >>> fixed minor. In systems with systemd as the init the following will >>> happen: on early boot systemd will call "kmod static-nodes" to read >>> /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname and then create the nodes. When >>> first accessed these "dead" nodes will trigger the module loading. >>> >>> Signed-off-by: Lucas De Marchi <lucas.demarchi@xxxxxxxxx> >>> --- >>> >>> Changes from v1: >>> - use minor=137, since 240 is reserved for local use >>> >>> We talked about using 197, but that's being used by pxa3xx-gcu, too. >> >> looks fine to me. If Kay and/or Greg want to ack it, then I take it through bluetooth-next tree. > > Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > patch has been applied to bluetooth-next tree.
