Hi. My question is: is it OK to the minor numbers to expand to the next major number when the major number is dynamic? This call: ret_val = alloc_chrdev_region(&dev, 0, 4, "fullex"); works as expected. $ cat /proc/devices Character devices: 251 fullex 252 fullex 253 fullex 254 fullex major = MAJOR(dev); If major is 251, I do: mknod /dev/fullex0 c 251 0 mknod /dev/fullex1 c 251 1 mknod /dev/fullex2 c 251 2 mknod /dev/fullex3 c 251 3 And all devices work as expected (I made a test with private data for each device and all /dev/fullex* are different). Source code: https://svn.arhuaco.org/svn/src/linux/examples/modules/full/fullex.c (I'm convertin this file to the 2.6 char device way, it's an example and I need to use spanish in the comments) Regards. -- http://arhuaco.org/ -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
