Hi, all. Version 204 of my devfs patch is now available from:
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/linux/kernel-patches.html
The devfs FAQ is also available here.

Patch directly available from:
ftp://ftp.??.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rgooch/v2.5/devfs-patch-current.gz

AND:
ftp://ftp.atnf.csiro.au/pub/people/rgooch/linux/kernel-patches/v2.5/devfs-patch-current.gz

NOTE: kernel 2.5.1 and later require devfsd-v1.3.19 or later.

This is against 2.5.1. Highlights of this release:

- Removed long obsolete rc.devfs

- Return old entry in <devfs_mk_dir> for 2.4.x kernels

- Updated README from master HTML file

- Increment refcount on module in <check_disc_changed>

- Created <devfs_get_handle> and exported <devfs_put>

- Increment refcount on module in <devfs_get_ops>

- Created <devfs_put_ops> and used where needed to fix races

- Added clarifying comments in response to preliminary EMC code review

- Added poisoning to <devfs_put>

- Improved debugging messages

- Fixed unregister bugs in drivers/md/lvm-fs.c

Regards,

Richard....
