drbd: add major number to major.h

2009-06-17T02:47:48Z

Since we have had a LANANA major number for years, and it is documented in devices.txt, I think that this first patch can go upstream. Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

block: implement extended dev numbers

2008-10-09T06:56:06Z

Implement extended device numbers. A block driver can tell block layer that it wants to use extended device numbers. After the usual minor space is used up, block layer automatically allocates devt's from EXT_BLOCK_MAJOR. Currently only one major number is allocated for this but as the allocation is strictly on-demand, ~1mil minor space under it should suffice unless the system actually has more than ~1mil partitions and if that ever happens adding more majors to the extended devt area is easy. Due to internal implementation issues, the first partition can't be allocated on the extended area. In other words, genhd->minors should at least be 1. This limitation will be lifted by later changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

video/fb: cleanup FB_MAJOR usage

2008-07-24T17:47:41Z

Currently, linux/major.h defines a GRAPHDEV_MAJOR (29) that nobody uses, and linux/fb.h defines the real FB_MAJOR (also 29), that only fbmem.c needs. Drop GRAPHDEV_MAJOR from major.h, move FB_MAJOR definition from fb.h to major.h, and fix fbmem.c to use major.h's definition. Signed-off-by: Philippe De Muyter Cc: Krzysztof Helt Cc: "Antonino A.

xen: add virtual block device driver.

2007-07-18T15:47:45Z

The block device frontend driver allows the kernel to access block devices exported exported by a virtual machine containing a physical block device driver. Signed-off-by: Ian Pratt Signed-off-by: Christian Limpach Signed-off-by: Chris Wright Cc: Arjan van de Ven Cc: Greg KH Cc: Jens Axboe

mmc: use assigned major for block device

2007-05-14T16:51:43Z

The MMC block devices now have an assigned major. Make sure we actually use it. Signed-off-by: Pierre Ossman

[PATCH] parport: move PP_MAJOR from ppdev.h to major.h

2006-03-25T16:22:53Z

Today I wondered about /dev/parport after not seeing anything in drivers/parport register char-major-99. Having PP_MAJOR in include/linux/major.h would've allowed me to more quickly determine that it was the ppdev driver driving these. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[SCSI] add scsi changer driver

This patch adds a device driver for scsi media changer devices. Signed-off-by: Gerd Knorr Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[PATCH] remove drivers/char/tpqic02.c

2005-03-08T01:23:53Z

Since at about half a year, this driver was no longer selectable via Kconfig. Since it seems noone missed this driver, therefore this patch removes it. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
