But the semantics are the same as before, for better or worse. 8( This means add_disk() can fail and according to your rules it can only be called once. If add_disk() would called a second time, the module would be live and add_disk() were not allowed to fail anymore. bye, Roman - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
