The following patch adds support for sysfs/uevent modalias attribute for scsi devices (like disks, tapes, cdroms etc), based on whatever current sd.c, sr.c, st.c and osst.c drivers supports. The modalias format is like this: scsi:type-0x04 (for TYPE_WORM, handled by sr.c now). Several comments. o This hexadecimal type value is because all TYPE_XXX constants in include/scsi/scsi.h are given in hex, but __stringify() will not convert them to decimal (so it will NOT be scsi:type-4). Since it does not really matter in which format it is, while both modalias in module and modalias attribute match each other, I descided to go for that 0x%02x format (and added a comment in include/scsi/scsi.h to keep them that way), instead of changing them all to decimal. o There was no .uevent routine for SCSI bus. It might be a good idea to add some more ueven environment variables in there. o osst.c driver handles tapes too, like st.c, but only SOME tapes. With this setup, hotplug scripts (or whatever is used by the user) will try to load both st and osst modules for all SCSI tapes found, because both modules have scsi:type-0x01 alias). It is not harmful, but one extra module is no good either. It is possible to solve this, by exporting more info in modalias attribute, including vendor and device identification strings, so that modalias becomes something like scsi:type-0x12:vendor-Adaptec LTD:device-OnStream Tape Drive and having that, match for all 3 attributes, not only device type. But oh well, vendor and device strings may be large, and they do contain spaces and whatnot. So I left them for now, awaiting for comments first. The patch is against 2.6.17, but should apply to more recent versions as well. And oh, almost forget: Signed-Off-By: Michael Tokarev <mjt@xxxxxxxxxx> Thanks. --- linux-2.6.17.orig/drivers/scsi/osst.c 2006-06-18 05:49:35.000000000 +0400 +++ linux-2.6.17/drivers/scsi/osst.c 2006-07-04 22:59:18.000000000 +0400 @@ -87,6 +87,7 @@ MODULE_AUTHOR("Willem Riede"); MODULE_DESCRIPTION("OnStream {DI-|FW-|SC-|USB}{30|50} Tape Driver"); MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR(OSST_MAJOR); +MODULE_ALIAS_SCSI_DEVICE(TYPE_TAPE); module_param(max_dev, int, 0444); MODULE_PARM_DESC(max_dev, "Maximum number of OnStream Tape Drives to attach (4)"); --- linux-2.6.17.orig/drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c 2006-06-18 05:49:35.000000000 +0400 +++ linux-2.6.17/drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c 2006-07-05 00:16:17.000000000 +0400 @@ -275,6 +275,19 @@ static int scsi_bus_match(struct device return (sdp->inq_periph_qual == SCSI_INQ_PQ_CON)? 1: 0; } +static int scsi_bus_uevent(struct device *dev, char **envp, int num_envp, + char *buffer, int buffer_size) +{ + struct scsi_device *sdev = to_scsi_device(dev); + int i = 0; + int length = 0; + + add_uevent_var(envp, num_envp, &i, buffer, buffer_size, &length, + "MODALIAS=" SCSI_DEVICE_MODALIAS_FMT, sdev->type); + envp[i] = NULL; + return 0; +} + static int scsi_bus_suspend(struct device * dev, pm_message_t state) { struct scsi_device *sdev = to_scsi_device(dev); @@ -307,6 +320,7 @@ static int scsi_bus_resume(struct device struct bus_type scsi_bus_type = { .name = "scsi", .match = scsi_bus_match, + .uevent = scsi_bus_uevent, .suspend = scsi_bus_suspend, .resume = scsi_bus_resume, }; @@ -534,6 +548,14 @@ show_sdev_iostat(iorequest_cnt); show_sdev_iostat(iodone_cnt); show_sdev_iostat(ioerr_cnt); +static ssize_t +sdev_show_modalias(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, char *buf) +{ + struct scsi_device *sdev; + sdev = to_scsi_device(dev); + return snprintf (buf, 20, SCSI_DEVICE_MODALIAS_FMT "\n", sdev->type); +} +static DEVICE_ATTR(modalias, S_IRUGO, sdev_show_modalias, NULL); /* Default template for device attributes.
