Subject: hotplug "rename" event for kobject_rename()?
Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2004 17:14:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1095095673.15966.47.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Hi,
we currently get hotplug events for kobject "add" and "remove". Wouldn't
it be nice to get the same kind of event for a kobject "rename"?
We currently fake a hotplug-event with udev while renaming a net-device.
We compose the new DEVPATH and call the network hotplug script from a
dev.d/ callout. If we would get a real "rename" event we can get rid of
that indirection and the rest of userspace can act properly too :).
What do you think about emitting a "rename" event from:
kobject_rename(struct kobject * kobj, char *new_name)
and add the old name to the environment?
Thanks,
Kay
