Hello all. I've got some time on my hands, so I am walking through all the network drivers, and cleaning up use of init_foodev. This means zapping foo_setup, and kmallocing or memseting dev->priv; I'm doing this at the prompting of an entry on the kernel-janitors TODO list. Very much of this code is utter crap, and the fixes are obvious. However, I have some questions regarding the legacy probe code from drivers/net/Space.c can I safely remove bar_probe() from Space.c, if I also cleanup bar.c so as to make it a module_init/module_exit based module? Oh, and something seems to be wrong with the listserver, I'm getting the following error, and Sender: is not getting set correctly.
