Major 10, minor 256 has been assigned to /dev/kvm. Let me know if this is nok
okay.
It doesn't work. The culprit appears to be
drivers/char/misc.c:
register_chrdev(MISC_MAJOR,"misc",&misc_fops)
which in turn means:
fs/char_dev.c:
int register_chrdev(unsigned int major, const char *name,
const struct file_operations *fops)
{
struct char_device_struct *cd;
struct cdev *cdev;
char *s;
int err = -ENOMEM;
cd = __register_chrdev_region(major, 0, 256, name);
So misc minor numbers under 256 are not supported.
What's the way out? Increase the region size? I don't know if that's safe.
