Should we not onl= y=20 > be checking cdevpriv in contexts where we know that it is not a vnode? I am sorry, my english may be not enough, so I may interpret your proposal mistakenly. I read it as a suggestion to check the file type before accessing the f_cdevpriv. The problem with the f_cdevpriv exists only at the _fdrop(). There, we have a file of f_type =3D=3D DTYPE_VNODE both for devfs and normal files. I cannot check the f_vnode since the vnode may be reclaimed. The only differentiator is the f_ops, that is devfs_ops_f for devfs file, and vnops for the normal file during the file lifetime. Unfortunately, f_ops is reset to the badfileops by vn_closefile before the _fdrop() is getting called. Reserving the flag in the f_flag looks not good due to interaction with the userspace. I do not want the callback to be called before the d_close() driver method gets a chance to clean the data. >=20 > > > >> > >>> > >>>Of course, I forgot to answer the question.
