Subject: [PATCH] ublk: persistent device links
Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2026 13:27:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260216122730.144092-1-hare@kernel.org> (raw)

Implement a 'uuid' parameter to export a device UUID in a sysfs
attribute 'uuid'. This allows udev to create persistent device
links for ublk devices:

KERNEL=="ublkb*", ATTRS{uuid}=="?*", SYMLINK+="disk/by-id/ublk-$attr{uuid}"
