[PATCH 4.9 104/128] chardev: add additional check for minor range overlap

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



[ Upstream commit de36e16d1557a0b6eb328bc3516359a12ba5c25c ]

Current overlap checking cannot correctly handle
a case which is baseminor < existing baseminor &&
baseminor + minorct > existing baseminor + minorct.
