Dev create signature changed to return Chan* #1123

Closed gmacd closed 3 years ago

gmacd commented 3 years ago

Device create functions changed to return Chan* created, similar to open. Required for integration of devshr.

Looks to have been added because shrcreate has a path where a new Chan is created, in which case it wants to sent the new chan rather than the one passed in.

As mentioned in slack, the 9front commit this change is based on is: https://code.9front.org/hg/plan9front/rev/2e0310025a75

I've updated the description to reference the 9front commit this change is based on, and the reason behind it.
