That is true, but note that ALAS^H^HSA creates device nodes in /proc manually. IOW, removal of proc_mknod() won't solve anything. The real question is whether we should allow device nodes on procfs. If we should not allow them, ALSA needs API changes. If we should, it'd be better to have creation of such nodes explicit (and if ALSA keeps doing that, it should switch to calling proc_mknod()). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
