Message-Id: <1445534852-7456-1-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org> Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2015 10:27:32 -0700 From: John Stultz <john.stultz@...aro.org> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: San Mehat <san@...gle.com>, Jens Axboe <axboe@...nel.dk>, Rom Lemarchand <romlem@...gle.com>, Android Kernel Team <kernel-team@...roid.com>, Dima Zavin <dima@...roid.com>, John Stultz <john.stultz@...aro.org> Subject: [PATCH] block: genhd: Add disk/partition specific uevent callbacks for partition info From: San Mehat <san@...gle.com> This patch has been carried in the Android tree for quite some time and is one of the few patches required to get a mainline kernel up and running with an exsiting Android userspace. So I wanted to submit it for review and consideration if it should be merged. For disk devices, a new uevent parameter 'NPARTS' specifies the number of partitions detected by the kernel. Partition devices get 'PARTN' which specifies the partitions index in the table, and 'PARTNAME', which specifies PARTNAME specifices the partition name of a partition device Android's userspace uses this for creating device node links from the partition name and number: ie: /dev/block/platform/soc/by-name/system or /dev/block/platform/soc/by-num/p1 One can see its usage here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/init/devices.cpp#355 and https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/init/devices.cpp#494 Thoughts and feedback would be greatly appreciated!
