hi
i've got written a block device driver for the 2.4.x kernel and it seems to work. but something looks strange to me. i've go a very simple application that does nothing more then open the block device, read 1024 byte and close the device. when i run this app. serveral times my do_request function gets called every time. why? i expect this block beeing buffered in the buffer cache. what do i don't see, or what is possibly wrong with my block device?
