No... there is no call to disk_events_set_poll_msecs in add_disk, when the events for the disk is created by disk_alloc_events, the poll_msecs of the event is initialized to the default value -1. And then disk_add_events will create the sysfs files and add_disk will return, and I'll change the default value of -1 to 2000 with the new function I've made. > It makes more sense to me to have the new call to > disk_events_set_poll_msecs(disk, 2000) before the call to add_disk(). This is too early, since the events of the disk is not allocated yet. I hope I've explained this clearly, if you see a problem, please let me know, thanks. -Aaron -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
