Instead I think this attribute should simply be registered before the call to add_disk(). Then the KOBJ_ADD event for the disk comes after the attribute is available. It's still not a clean fit, because userspace should not be expecting a child device uevent to signal new attributes available on the parent. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
