For example what is the sysfs path for\n/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK? With this change a call to\nstat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that\n/sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc.\n\nWhat are the alternatives?:\n1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce\n the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this\n seems counter productive.\n\n2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a\n udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited\n environment like an initramfs.\n\n3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.\n\n[kay.sievers@vrfy.org: fix duplicate registrations]\n[kay.sievers@vrfy.org: cleanup suggestions]\n\nCc: Neil Brown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\nCc: Tejun Heo \u003chtejun@gmail.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Kay Sievers \u003ckay.sievers@vrfy.org\u003e\nReviewed-by: SL Baur \u003csteve@xemacs.org\u003e\nAcked-by: Kay Sievers \u003ckay.sievers@vrfy.org\u003e\nAcked-by: Mark Lord \u003clkml@rtr.ca\u003e\nAcked-by: H.

It allows userspace to get a consistent\nsnapshot of kernel state and consume it with incremental reads and seeks.\n\nNow, if the file position is zero the kernel assumes userspace wants to see\nthe new value. The application for this change is to allow a userspace\nRAID metadata handler to check the state of an array without causing any\nmemory allocations. Thus not causing writeback to a raid array that might\nbe blocked waiting for userspace to take action.\n\nCc: Neil Brown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\nAcked-by: Tejun Heo \u003chtejun@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Dan Williams \u003cdan.j.williams@intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman \u003cgregkh@suse.de\u003e\n\n\n" }, { "commit": "f8c34f9816d9dd9d09ed9a78332fbe698e8fc765", "tree": "efa80b699611ed689695dcb1f0ff38cdd55d197b", "parents": [ "7356337bd2d4416bcaa0158520542dfbd154949c" ], "author": { "name": "Shaun Zinck", "email": "shaun.zinck@gmail.com", "time": "Sat Oct 20 02:39:43 2007 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Adrian Bunk", "email": "bunk@kernel.org", "time": "Sat Oct 20 02:39:43 2007 +0200" }, "message": "docs/sysfs: add missing word to sysfs attribute explanation\n\nAdd the obvious missing word.\n\nSigned-off-by: Shaun Zinck \u003cshaun.zinck@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Adrian Bunk \u003cbunk@kernel.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "fff9289b219f48cb2296714fea3d71f516991f9f", "tree": "47f597d038f7304ac32066c263c289135a52b0c6", "parents": [ "6c28f2c0f2054865d82b5a6b2164eac956f15c94" ], "author": { "name": "Matt LaPlante", "email": "kernel1@cyberdogtech.com", "time": "Tue Oct 03 22:47:42 2006 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Adrian Bunk", "email": "bunk@stusta.de", "time": "Tue Oct 03 22:47:42 2006 +0200" }, "message": "Fix typos in Documentation/: \u0027D\u0027-\u0027E\u0027\n\nThis patch fixes typos in various Documentation txts.
