Hi Jirome,

According to the I/O Kit engineers, it's not necessary to call mach_port_deallocate() for the MasterPort, but calling it doesn't do any harm.

Hi,

My question is related to MoreSCF but can be more general...

I've noticed that MoreSCF often gets the masterPort using IOMasterPort

But I came across a sample code that disposes of the masterPort after using it by calling mac_port_deallocate. This is something MoreSCF doesn't do.

I'm not an expert with the IOKit so I'm quite unsure if it's normal or if there's an issue here...
Could someone clarify this ?

Thanks
Jirome
