  • Alan is no longer maintaining this list through the Linux assigned
    numbers authority. Make it a collective document by referring to
    "the maintainers" in plural throughout, and naming the chardev and
    block layer maintainers in particular as parties of involvement.
    Cut down and remove some sections that pertained to the process of
    maintaining the list at lanana.org and contacting Alan directly.

    Make it clear that this document, in the kernel, is the master
    document.

    Also move paragraphs around so as to emphasize dynamic major number
    allocation.

    Remove paragraph on 2.6 deprecation, that tag no longer appears
    anywhere in the file.

  • Currently a dynamically allocated character device major is taken
    from 254 and downward. This mechanism is used for RTC, IIO and a
    few other subsystems.

    The kernel currently has no check prevening these dynamic
    allocations from eating into the assigned numbers at 233 and
    downward.

    In a recent test it was reported that so many dynamic device
    majors were used on a test server, that the major number for
    infiniband (231) was stolen. This occurred when allocating a new
    major number for GPIO chips. The error messages from the kernel
    were not helpful. (See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/14/124)

    This patch adds a defined lower limit of the dynamic major
    allocation region will henceforth emit a warning if we start to
    eat into the assigned numbers. It does not do any semantic
    changes and will not change the kernels behaviour: numbers will
    still continue to be stolen, but we will know from dmesg what
    is going on.

    This also updates the Documentation/devices.txt to clearly
    reflect that we are using this range of major numbers for dynamic
    allocation.

    In that original location, it was then fixed to support empty port
    nodes by commit b9db140c1e46 ("[media] v4l: of: Support empty port

  • Commit bfacbb9 (Bluetooth: Use devname:vhci module alias for virtual HCI
    driver) added the module alias to hci_vhci module so it's possible to
    create the /dev/vhci node. However creating an alias without
    specifying the minor doesn't allow us to create the node ahead,
    triggerring module auto-load when it's first accessed.

    Starting with depmod from kmod 16 we started to warn if there's a
    devname alias without specifying the major and minor.

    Let's do the same done for uhid, kvm, fuse and others, specifying a
    fixed minor. In systems with systemd as the init the following will
    happen: on early boot systemd will call "kmod static-nodes" to read
    /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname and then create the nodes. When
    first accessed these "dead" nodes will trigger the module loading.

  • VFIO currently allocates it's own dynamic chardev range, reserving the
    first minor for the control part of the interface (/dev/vfio/vfio) and
    the remainder for VFIO groups (/dev/vfio/$GROUP). This works, but it
    doesn't support auto loading. For instance when libvirt checks for
    VFIO support it looks for /dev/vfio/vfio, which currently doesn't
    exist unless the vfio module is loaded. By converting the control
    device to a misc driver and reserving a static minor, we can enable
    auto loading.

    Reserving the minor is a prerequist to that conversion. Minor 196
    is unused by anything currently in the kernel.

  • /dev/oldmem provides the interface for us to access the "old memory" in
    the dump-capture kernel. Unfortunately, no one actually uses this
    interface.

    And this interface could actually cause some real problems if used on ia64
    where the cached/uncached accesses are mixed. See the discussion from the
    link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/12/386.

    So Eric suggested that we should remove /dev/oldmem as an unused piece of
    code.

  • Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
    "It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
    realistically, nobody is using them anymore. They were mostly limited
    to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
    64MB of RAM. Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
    dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
    various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.

    So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point
    carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
    wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
    grep'ping over it, and so on."

    Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James
    Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
    allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory*
    there may be users out there.

    But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
    have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
    that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
    argue for keeping MCA support either.

    So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk
    about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
    kernels for us to do that. And David already took the patch to delete
    all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61ad3: "drivers/net:
    delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").

    * 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
    MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.
    scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver code
    serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support.
    arm: remove ability to select CONFIG_MCA

  • Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines
    that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB
    of memory. A quick search on the internet, and you see that
    even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest
    in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from
    the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series.

    This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core
    kernel code and from the x86 architecture. There is no point in
    carrying this any further into the future.

    One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up
    stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in
    the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

  • The old limit of number of minor numbers per mmcblk device was hardcoded
    at 8. This isn't enough for some of the more elaborate partitioning
    schemes, for example those used by Chrome OS.

    Since there might be a bunch of systems out there with static /dev
    contents that relies on the old numbering scheme, let's make it a
    build-time option with the default set to the previous 8.

    Also provide a boot/modprobe-time parameter to override the config
    default: mmcblk.perdev_minors.

  • Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
    updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
    Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
    the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
    Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
    on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
    to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

  • This adds:
    alias: devname:
    to some common kernel modules, which will allow the on-demand loading
    of the kernel module when the device node is accessed.

    Ideally all these modules would be compiled-in, but distros seems too
    much in love with their modularization that we need to cover the common
    cases with this new facility. It will allow us to remove a bunch of pretty
    useless init scripts and modprobes from init scripts.

    The static device node aliases will be carried in the module itself. The
    program depmod will extract this information to a file in the module directory:
    $ cat /lib/modules/2.6.34-00650-g537b60d-dirty/modules.devname
    # Device nodes to trigger on-demand module loading.
    microcode cpu/microcode c10:184
    fuse fuse c10:229
    ppp_generic ppp c108:0
    tun net/tun c10:200
    dm_mod mapper/control c10:235

    Udev will pick up the depmod created file on startup and create all the
    static device nodes which the kernel modules specify, so that these modules
    get automatically loaded when the device node is accessed:

    A few device nodes are switched to statically allocated numbers, to allow
    the static nodes to work. This might also useful for systems which still run
    a plain static /dev, which is completely unsafe to use with any dynamic minor
    numbers.

    Note:
    The devname aliases must be limited to the *common* and *single*instance*
    device nodes, like the misc devices, and never be used for conceptually limited
    systems like the loop devices, which should rather get fixed properly and get a
    control node for losetup to talk to, instead of creating a random number of
    device nodes in advance, regardless if they are ever used.

    This facility is to hide the mess distros are creating with too modualized
    kernels, and just to hide that these modules are not compiled-in, and not to
    paper-over broken concepts. Thanks! :)

  • This driver was originaly written by Stefan Kopp, but massively
    reworked by Greg for submission.

    Thanks to Felipe Balbi for lots of work in cleaning
    up this driver.

    Thanks to Oliver Neukum for reviewing previous
    versions and pointing out problems.

  • This patch removes the auerswald USB driver from the linux kernel
    2.6.26.

    This driver was included into the kernel mainly to connect to the ISDN
    framework. This was done in linux 2.4.x. For 2.6.x, due to the fragile
    and moving ISDN support, this connection was never realized, and the
    only use of this driver was for device configuration. In the age of DSL,
    the demand of ISDN support is getting very low.

    Meanwhile, with the advent of libusb, an userspace driver was done for
    the device configuration which works fine for linux and mac. (Thanks to
    the libusb developers!). The userspace driver is downloadable from the
    auerswald web site.

    So this driver is obsolete now and has to be removed. Many thanks to all
    developers which helped me to bring this driver up and working.

  • Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were
    approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases.

    Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both
    Kconfigs and documentation texts.
