kobject: kobject_uevent() returns manageable value

2006-12-20T18:56:44+00:00

Since kobject_uevent() function does not return an integer value to
indicate if its operation was completed with success or not, it is worth
changing it in order to report a proper status (success or error) instead
of returning void.

driver core: Introduce device_move(): move a device to a new parent.

2006-12-01T22:52:01+00:00

Provide a function device_move() to move a device to a new parent device. Add
auxilliary functions kobject_move() and sysfs_move_dir().
kobject_move() generates a new uevent of type KOBJ_MOVE, containing the
previous path (DEVPATH_OLD) in addition to the usual values. For this, a new
interface kobject_uevent_env() is created that allows to add further
environmental data to the uevent at the kobject layer.

PCI: docking station: remove dock uevents

2006-08-03T20:20:06+00:00

Remove uevent dock notifications.  There are no consumers
of these events at present, and uevents are likely not the
correct way to send this type of event anyway.

Until I get some kind of idea if anyone in userspace cares
about dock events, I will just not send any.

Moving uevent_seqnum and uevent_helper to kobject_uevent.c

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

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.
