2006-04-14[PATCH] sysfs: Allow sysfs attribute files to be pollableNeilBrown
It works like this: Open the file Read all the contents. Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works) When poll returns, close the file and go to top of loop. or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'. Events are signaled by an object manager calling sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr); If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group). This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject, one int per open file. The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs attributes as well? This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action to be pollable Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2006-02-22Revert mount/umount uevent removalGreg Kroah-Hartman
This change reverts the 033b96fd30db52a710d97b06f87d16fc59fee0f1 commit from Kay Sievers that removed the mount/umount uevents from the kernel. Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a new device has been mounted. These events are not correctly emitted, and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any future program. Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to properly detect this kind of event. A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this interface will be removed from the kernel.

2006-01-04[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"Kay Sievers
Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports the state to userspace and generates events. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-01-04[PATCH] merge kobject_uevent and kobject_hotplugKay Sievers
The distinction between hotplug and uevent does not make sense these days, netlink events are the default. udev depends entirely on netlink uevents. Only during early boot and in initramfs, /sbin/hotplug is needed. So merge the two functions and provide only one interface without all the options. The netlink layer got a nice generic interface with named slots recently, which is probably a better facility to plug events for subsystem specific events. Also the new poll() interface to /proc/mounts is a nicer way to notify about changes than sending events through the core. The uevents should only be used for driver core related requests to userspace now. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-01-04[PATCH] remove mount/umount uevents from superblock handlingKay Sievers
The names of these events have been confusing from the beginning on, as they have been more like claim/release events. We needed these events for noticing HAL if storage devices have been mounted. Thanks to Al, we have the proper solution now and can poll() /proc/mounts instead to get notfied about mount tree changes.

2006-01-04[PATCH] remove CONFIG_KOBJECT_UEVENT optionKay Sievers

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
