[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Change references to /dev/xen/evtchn to /dev/evtchn
Change all references to /dev/xen/evtchn to /dev/evtchn as this is where udev creates the device entry. /dev/xen was the location that we used under devfs. In some of the tools, we were creating /dev/xen/evtchn if it did not already exist. We really should not do that. We currently use the reserved major/minor range. Strictly, this is not right as we may conflict with other software. Ideally, we should use random major/minor numbers and optionally take the major/minor number as a module parameter.

Perhaps we can make udev create the device node there instead of /dev/evtchn? Also changes less code.... -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
