I could solve it in userspace, but that really feels like a hacky workaround and not a long term solution. It would mean that every new device starts with persist enabled and stays that way for a few milliseconds (maybe up to seconds if it's connected on boot), until userspace gets around to disable it again... opening the possibility for very weird race conditions and bugs with drivers/devices that don't work with persist. This default is a policy that really resides in the kernel, it has changed in the past, and since there is no definitive better choice for all cases I thought making it configurable is the right thing to do. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
