| |
I have a need for more than 256 minor numbers. I could add some more major numbers, thus getting the number of majors * 256. I would like to have only device driver loaded to handle the multiple majors. I thoought of the following things that would have to be changed:
1) make the new device descriptors 2) add the new majors to the register_blkdev and unregister system calls 3) process multiple CURRENT q's when receiving a request from the block device layer. Each unique major has a seperate incoming q.
Does any know of anything else that would prevent me from doing this ??
