From: Paul Bolle Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2014 21:47:24 +0000 (+0200) Subject: isdn/capi: fix (middleware) device nodes X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d1cadce15af85e409b199c541badd5c9b8839aa0;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git isdn/capi: fix (middleware) device nodes Since v2.4 the capi driver used the following device nodes if "middleware" support was enabled: /dev/capi20 /dev/capi/0 /dev/capi/1 [...] /dev/capi20 is a character device node. /dev/capi/0 (and up) are tty device nodes (with a different major). This device node (naming) scheme is not documented anywhere, as far as I know. It was originally provided by the capifs pseudo filesystem (before udev became available). It is required for example by the pppd capiplugin. It was supported until a few years ago. But a number of developments broke it: - v2.6.6 (May 2004) renamed /dev/capi20 to /dev/capi and removed the "/" from the name of capi's tty driver. The explanation of the patch that did this included two examples of udev rules "to restore the old namespace"; - either udev 154 (May 2010) or udev 179 (January 2012) stopped allowing to rename device nodes, and thus the ability to have /dev/capi20 appear instead of /dev/capi and /dev/capi/0 (and up) instead of /dev/capi0 (and up); - v3.0 (July 2011) also removed capifs. That disabled another method to create the /dev/capi/0 (and up) device nodes. So now users need to manually tweak their setup (eg, create /dev/capi/ and fill that with symlinks) to get things working. This is all rather hacky and only discoverable by searching the web. Fix all this by renaming /dev/capi back to /dev/capi20, and by setting the name of the "capi_nc" tty driver to "capi!" so the tty device nodes appear as /dev/capi/0 (and up).
