Subject: [PATCH] LEDS: fix race between LED device uevent and actual attributes creation
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:11:44 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201003101511.44770.ffainelli@freebox.fr> (raw)

If we were to dynamically register/unregister leds and have udev or other
daemons handle the leds class uevents, we would be notified of the adding of a
new LED and if the daemon immediately tries to open one of the attributes of
the led device, it would fail with a "no such file or directory" error since the 
attributes are not yet created. Fix this by switching attributes to be 
class-wide, such that the driver core will register these attributes with
device_add_attrs and then emit the kobject_uevent ADD signal.
