Hi, I'm trying to send a uevent from my USB Gadget Serial driver using: kobject_uevent(&cdev->gadget->dev.kobj, KOBJ_ONLINE); However, the uevent gets filtered out with the error message: "filter function caused the event to drop!" -from kobject_uevent.c line 124 The filter function used is dev_uevent_filter() from core.c. The dev_uevent_filter() filters out the uevent because the following test fails: if (ktype == &device_ktype) This is because my driver's (struct bus_type *) gadget.dev.bus is NULL. So I tried the following in my driver's probe() function: the_controller->gadget.dev.bus = &of_platform_bus_type; But this results in a crash. Here are my questions: 1) I am trying to communicate to a Userspace prgoram that the Gadget Serial driver has connected to a TTY device, so the Userspace program can know when to start I/O with the TTY device. To achieve this, I want to send a uevent from for example f_acm.c, just after it calls gserial_connect() in acm_set_alt(). I'm hoping that I can use libudev (via netlink sockets) to catch this uevent, and hence send a notification to a socket that the Userspace program is listening on. Does this all look like a sensible thing to do? 2) Is there a 'proper' way to assign the bus type as above? Perhaps I need to call some sort of init function instead, so that the crash can be avoided. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-embedded" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
