That's about what I was thinking of in [0]. It also sets the cdev's owner
manually. However, register_chrdev() also does this:
225 kobject_set_name(&cdev->kobj, "%s", name);
226 for (s = strchr(kobject_name(&cdev->kobj),'/'); s; s =
strchr(s, '/'))
227 *s = '!';
I reckon we can ignore the 's,/,!,g' replacement, since the name is fixed
"blktap" (or "blktap2"). But the kobject name doesn't appear to be set in the
first place. Is that no problem? If not, I'd just omit it from blktap as well.
Thank you!
