Hi all,
I am writing a kernel module. Where in the module, major number is allocated on fly (alloc_chrdev_region). And using major number from /proc/devices I create a device node in /dev (mknod). To see what happens if I create device node with major number first and then asking the kernel to create same major number on fly when I use insmod(kernel is picking the major number on fly what I used for device node). When I type insmod the whole kernel is freezing. Do you think the kernel should avoid such situation gracefully. Any comments would be helpful. Thank you.
Sri.
