[PATCH] kobject: fix build error if CONFIG_SYSFS=n

2006-03-20T21:42:57+00:00

Moving uevent_seqnum and uevent_helper to kobject_uevent.c
because they are used even if CONFIG_SYSFS=n
while kernel/ksysfs.c is built only if CONFIG_SYSFS=y,

Revert mount/umount uevent removal

2006-02-22T17:39:02+00:00

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.

[PATCH] Fix uevent buffer overflow in input layer

2006-02-06T20:17:18+00:00

The buffer used for kobject uevent is too small for some of the events generated
by the input layer. Bump it to 2k.

Netlink is unconditionally enabled if CONFIG_NET, so that's OK.

kobject_uevent.o is compiled even if !CONFIG_HOTPLUG, which is lazy.

Let's compound the sin.

[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"

2006-01-05T00:18:08+00:00

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.

[PATCH] merge kobject_uevent and kobject_hotplug

2006-01-05T00:18:07+00:00

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.

[PATCH] remove mount/umount uevents from superblock handling

2006-01-05T00:18:07+00:00

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.

[PATCH] remove CONFIG_KOBJECT_UEVENT option

2006-01-05T00:18:07+00:00

It makes zero sense to have hotplug, but not the netlink
events enabled today. Remove this option and merge the
kobject_uevent.h header into the kobject.h header file.
