For such (fix) patch, I'd like to see what exact issue your patch fixes.

And if it fixes an issue, you'd better title your patch with something
like "vhost: fix ...", so that it's likely Thomas will put it into
high priority.

Hi,
For miscdevices, the major device_no is same, so the minor device_no should be set to ditinguish different misc devices;  if not set the minor, it may fail while insmod due to the default minor value, 0, has been used by other miscdevice. MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR means to let Linux kernel dynamically assign one minor devide number while loading.
You can refer to the kni_misc.c

Brgs,
Chi Xiaobo

Hi,

And following is a test by me, we can see that if I firstly insert my kmod_test.ko, then insert eventfd_link.ko, error will happen with hint " Device or resource busy". This is because the default minor device number, 0, has been occupied by my kmod_test.ko .

Good to know and thanks for the explanation. It's well explained, and
you should put them (including below example) to commit log. With the
detailed issue explanation, and steps to reproduce, it just gives
your patch more chance to get reviewed (and merged).

And, don't forget to title your patch with "vhost: fix ..." preifx.

FYI, there is another custom for a fix patch in DPDK community: adding
an extra line like following to indicate the latest commit introduces
such bug:

    Fixes: 62dbd2ffea9a ("ethdev: add more flow director modes")


Which is generated with following git alias (check http://dpdk.org/dev
for more information):

    [alias]
         fixline = log -1 --abbrev=12 --format='Fixes: %h (\"%s\")'


So, would you please send v2?

* [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] vhost: fix eventfd_link.ko insertion failure problem

Problem:if I firstly insert my kmod_test.ko, then insert eventfd_link.ko,
error will happen with hint " Device or resource busy". This is because
the default minor device number, 0, has been occupied by my kmod_test.ko .

root@distro:~/test$ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
kmod_test                927  0
vboxsf                 35930  4
vboxguest             222130  1 vboxsf
microcode              10315  0
autofs4                25051  0
root@distro:~/test$ insmod ./eventfd_link.ko
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module ./eventfd_link.ko: Device or
resource busy

Explanation: For miscdevices, the major device_no is same, so the minor
device_no should be set to ditinguish different misc devices;  if not set
the minor, it may fail while insmod due to the default minor value, 0, has
been used by other miscdevice. MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR means to let Linux
kernel dynamically assign one minor devide number while loading.
