Hello,
I have some questions about device number extension. In Linux kernel 2.6, device number will be extended from 16-bit to 32-bit. All utilities and libraries should make corresponding extension for this new feature in kernel 2.6. I find that "libgtop2-2.0.8" uses variables "dev_major" and "dev_minor" to represent two different parts of device number, but the device number is operated as 16-bit. In file sysdeps/linux/procmap.c, line 120 entry_list [n].device = (u_int64_t) (dev_major << 8) + (u_int64_t) dev_minor; As following, "major" should be 12-bit, and "minor" should be 20-bit. mmmm mmmm mmmm MMMM MMMM MMMM mmmm mmmm "M" means major device number. "m" means minor device number. But this line considers both "dev_major" and "dev_minor" as 8-bit. It seems not to correspond to device number extension. Since I didn't find any information about this aspect in homepage of this package, I wonder whether the latest version has completed the device number extension? If not, will it be completed in the future? And when? Looking forward to your answering.
