Other dependent drivers should not use it in order to safely avoid lockdep issues. Who: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> + +---------------------------- + +What: sound-slot/service-* module aliases and related clutters in + sound/sound_core.c +When: August 2010 +Why: OSS sound_core grabs all legacy minors (0-255) of SOUND_MAJOR + (14) and requests modules using custom sound-slot/service-* + module aliases. The only benefit of doing this is allowing + use of custom module aliases which might as well be considered + a bug at this point. This preemptive claiming prevents + alternative OSS implementations. + + Till the feature is removed, the kernel will be requesting + both sound-slot/service-* and the standard char-major-* module + aliases and allow turning off the pre-claiming selectively via + CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM and soundcore.preclaim_oss + kernel parameter. + + After the transition phase is complete, both the custom module + aliases and switches to disable it will go away. This removal + will also allow making ALSA OSS emulation independent of + sound_core. The dependency will be broken then too. +Who: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> |
