Clearly I just copied this from brd, but I'd love to be rid of it entirely. Is there a valid way for our probe function to get called? If not, can we just have a little stub with a BUG() in it to make sure we hear about it if it does ever get called, and delete a bunch of code? I think this would let us get rid of pmem_probe(), pmem_init_one(), and the pmem_devices_mutex. If there *is* a valid way for this code to get called, let's figure it out so we can at least test this function. This will be especially necessary as we add support for more pmem disks. > > @@ -424,5 +423,7 @@ static void __exit prd_exit(void) > > MODULE_AUTHOR("Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>"); > MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); > +MODULE_ALIAS("pmem"); Let's just go with the full rename s/prd/pmem/. That turned out to be really clean & made everything consistent - thanks for the good suggestion. - Ross -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
