My contributions to the Linux Kernel
Mainline kernel
Out of mainline
-
ide_proc_register, which allows hotplug of IDE interfaces (i.e. removable CDROM in a laptop).
In the linux kernel, this feature is implemented in an ioctl on a currently-open IDE device. This presents a problem
on devices with no valid IDE devices - the
open call will fail, making the ioctl impossible to execute.
This module adds a file, /proc/ide1_register, which will register or unregister the IDE1 (/dev/hdc) interface if a
1 or 0 is written to it.
