SubjectShould osst call cdev_alloc()
Currently, sg.c and st.c contain calls to cdev_alloc() and friends:


[wriede@serve kernel]$ find linux-2.6.9 -name '*.c' | xargs grep cdev_alloc
linux-2.6.9/drivers/s390/char/tape_class.c: tcd->char_device =
cdev_alloc();
linux-2.6.9/drivers/scsi/sg.c: cdev = cdev_alloc();
linux-2.6.9/drivers/scsi/sg.c: printk(KERN_WARNING "cdev_alloc
failed\n");
linux-2.6.9/drivers/scsi/st.c: cdev = cdev_alloc();
linux-2.6.9/fs/char_dev.c: cdev = cdev_alloc();
linux-2.6.9/fs/char_dev.c:struct cdev *cdev_alloc(void)
linux-2.6.9/fs/char_dev.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(cdev_alloc);


My question is: should osst do the same? It seems to work just fine without.

Please cc me on answers, as I'm currently not subscribed to linux-kernel.

Thanks, Willem Riede,
osst maintainer
