Right now my latest problem is *this* code from softmac_hold():
/*
* First try to hold this device instance to force the MAC
* to be registered.
*/
if ((dip = ddi_hold_devi_by_instance(getmajor(dev), ppa, 0)) == NULL)
return (ENOENT);
Basically, the assumption here is that PPA == instance. Bad assumption.
The assumption is based on the code in mac_register() that the minor
number is (instance + 1). Have you changed this code?
What I'm trying to figure out at present is how I can get the device
instance from the dev_t, or alternatively, how I can pass the instance
number to softmac_hold().
I'd appreciate any thoughts you have on this matter.
This is a GLDv3 driver, right? can you use the dls_link_devinfo() to get
the devinfo from the dev_t?
Thanks
