Hi all, I was curious about the following doubts: 1. In presence of multiple devices, whether multiple instances of the driver (which drives the device) will be created? 2. If so, then whether multiple instances of a global variable defined in the driver module will be created? In this case, whether there is any dependency upon static qualifier for that global variable? Pl clarify the same. Looking forward to your answers.. Thank you, With Regards, Kaustav Majumdar -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
