Thanks, your patch fixed the problem.
BTW, 2.5.[0,1-pre1] contain this 'broken' code:
Maybe it is silently fixed at some other play,
but just for everyones information.
2.5.1-pre1:
struct inode * proc_get_inode(struct super_block * sb, int ino,
struct proc_dir_entry * de)
{
struct inode * inode;
/*
* Increment the use count so the dir entry can't disappear.
*/
de_get(de);
#if 1
/* shouldn't ever happen */
if (de && de->deleted)
printk("proc_iget: using deleted entry %s, count=%d\n", de->name,
atomic_read(&de->count));
#endif
inode = iget(sb, ino);
if (!inode)
goto out_fail;
inode->u.generic_ip = (void *) de;
if (de) {
if (de->mode) {
inode->i_mode = de->mode;
inode->i_uid = de->uid;
inode->i_gid = de->gid;
}
if (de->size)
inode->i_size = de->size;
if (de->nlink)
inode->i_nlink = de->nlink;
if (de->owner)
__MOD_INC_USE_COUNT(de->owner);
if (de->proc_iops) <<<<<<<<
inode->i_op = de->proc_iops; <<<<<<<<
if (de->proc_fops) <<<<<<<<
inode->i_fop = de->proc_fops; <<<<<<<<
-- this line looks like error, what has init_special_inode to do with
de->proc_fops?
else if (S_ISBLK(de->mode)||S_ISCHR(de->mode)||S_ISFIFO(de->mode))
init_special_inode(inode,de->mode,kdev_t_to_nr(de->rdev));
}
out:
return inode;
out_fail:
de_put(de);
goto out;
}
