Subject[PATCH 0/9] Generate uevents for all DM events
Date
Hi Mike and GregKH,

I want a way to get devicemapper events without using the DM ioctl,
because that requires creating a thread to sleep in the ioctl for each
dm device I want events from.

It would seem like using uevents and KOBJ_CHANGE would be a good way
to do this, but Mike said that the uevent maintainers (Greg that's
you?) did not think this was a good idea?

If so, I was hoping you could talk a little more about why -- grep
shows KOBJ_CHANGE used all over, but its usage is not documented in
kobject.txt. In any case I can update kobject.txt with some more
guidelines.

The following patchset may be appliable if you're actually ok with
using KOBJ_CHANGE for dm events, or if not, then I'll look to rework
it to use a dm-specific genetlink approach.

Thanks -- Regards -- Andy
