| |
Using kernel 2.4.9-ac10 there seems to be a bug in the releasing of the inode numbers when unregistered proc entries. I have been a kernel module which sets its own proc_fops->readdir function that checks a list in the module and then unregisters/registers entries within the directory to represent that list, one entry per item in the list. The problem is that while the inode number for the first entry in the directory is released and reused all the rest aren't. Obviously the inode numbers run out. John
