Subject: I'm lost: the udev workflow
Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2005 02:03:35 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200506240403.35408.ml@gioelebarabucci.com> (raw)

Now I'm lost. I'm no longer sure about the way udev, the kernel and other 
device management apps work together.

I was thinking that the workflow was:

* something happens to a device (add, remove, power state change)
* the kernel calls /sbin/hotplug
* udev is called and does its work (modprobe, rmmod, device node 
creation/deletion)
* all the "interested listeners" (like HAL) are called and are told of what 
has changed.

Now I read of netlink, listening daemons, KEYs... Can someone draft a quick 
sketch of how kernel hotplug is going to work with the next udev releases?
