From 79907d89c397b8bc2e05b347ec94e928ea919d33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Cox Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2010 09:39:49 +0100 Subject: misc: Fix allocation 'borrowed' by vhost_net 10, 233 is allocated officially to /dev/kmview which is shipping in Ubuntu and Debian distributions. vhost_net seem to have borrowed it without making a proper request and this causes regressions in the other distributions. vhost_net can use a dynamic minor so use that instead. Also update the file with a comment to try and avoid future misunderstandings. cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alan Cox [ We should have caught this before 2.6.34 got released. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- drivers/vhost/net.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'drivers/vhost') diff --git a/drivers/vhost/net.c b/drivers/vhost/net.c index 0f41c9195e9b..df5b6b971f26 100644 --- a/drivers/vhost/net.c +++ b/drivers/vhost/net.c @@ -637,7 +637,7 @@ const static struct file_operations vhost_net_fops = { }; static struct miscdevice vhost_net_misc = { - VHOST_NET_MINOR, + MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR, "vhost-net", &vhost_net_fops, }; -- cgit v1.2.3
