Well, perhaps, let's not get ahead of ourselves here :) > We are planning to address the issues with other drivers after we are done > with the vmbus driver. As always, your help is greatly appreciated. The issue I am referring to above still has to do with the vmbus core. The goal is to have the vmbus work like all other busses in the kernel. You register a hv_driver with some probe and disconnect callbacks, and the vmbus calls into the drivers when it needs to. You are almost there, using the struct device pointers directly, but a few more steps remain. I'll look into the details after your remaining cleanups, I don't want to get in the way of them. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
