Subject: [PATCH v2 5/9] char: misc: Make registering dynamic device reentry
Date: Tue, 01 Jul 2025 23:24:43 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250701-rfc_miscdev-v2-5-3eb22bf533be@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250701-rfc_miscdev-v2-0-3eb22bf533be@oss.qualcomm.com>
From: Zijun Hu <zijun.hu@oss.qualcomm.com>
misc_deregister() frees dynamic minor but does not reset @misc->minor
and cause kunit test case miscdev_test_dynamic_reentry() failure:
| Invalid fixed minor 257 for miscdevice 'miscdyn_a'
| #miscdev_test_dynamic_reentry: ASSERTION FAILED at misc_minor_kunit.c:639
| Expected ret == 0, but
| ret == -22 (0xffffffffffffffea)
| [FAILED] miscdev_test_dynamic_reentry
Fix by resetting dynamic minor in misc_deregister() as error handling
of misc_register() does.
