What's the status of "by_name"? There's a single (presumably incorrect) mention of it in a comment in this patch. I would prefer if the kernel populated by_name itself rather than deferring that to udev, since I'd like to use this facility in virtme, and I'd like to use fw_cfg very early on boot before I even start udev. --Andy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
