So I wanted to submit it for review and consideration if it should be merged. For partitions, add new uevent parameters 'PARTN' which specifies the partitions index in the table, and 'PARTNAME', which specifies PARTNAME specifices the partition name of a partition device. Android's userspace uses this for creating device node links from the partition name and number: ie: /dev/block/platform/soc/by-name/system or /dev/block/platform/soc/by-num/p1 One can see its usage here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/init/devices.cpp#355 and https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/init/devices.cpp#494 Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Rom Lemarchand Cc: Android Kernel Team Cc: Jeff Moyer Cc: harald@redhat.com Cc: kay@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Dima Zavin [Dropped NPARTS and reworded commit message for context] Signed-off-by: John Stultz --- v2: Dropped NPARTS thanks to Jeff noticing it wasn't used. block/partition-generic.c | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) diff --git a/block/partition-generic.c b/block/partition-generic.c index 3b03015..d12489e 100644 --- a/block/partition-generic.c +++ b/block/partition-generic.c @@ -216,10 +216,21 @@ static void part_release(struct device *dev) kfree(p); } +static int part_uevent(struct device *dev, struct kobj_uevent_env *env) +{ + struct hd_struct *part = dev_to_part(dev); + + add_uevent_var(env, "PARTN=%u", part->partno); + if (part->info && part->info->volname[0]) + add_uevent_var(env, "PARTNAME=%s", part->info->volname); + return 0; +} + struct device_type part_type = { .name = "partition", .groups = part_attr_groups, .release = part_release, + .uevent = part_uevent, }; static void delete_partition_rcu_cb(struct rcu_head *head) -- 1.9.1
