Fwd: Linux version 2.4.24 poll

[N26825]

      Subject: Linux version 2.4.24 poll

      Gentlemen:

      In a character device, if I open one with a MINOR number of
      1, variable "minor" in the following driver snippet remains
      0.

      static size_t poll(struct file *fp, struct poll_table_struct
      *wait)
      {
      int minor = MINOR(fp->f_dentry->d_inode->i_rdev);

      If this is a feature, and not a bug, how am I supposed to
      obtain
      the minor number or do I have to use a block device?

      Thanks,

      Gloria
