What kind of event do you expect? And how is that related to udev?
Thanks,
Kay

What type of udev events? Those for the usb major number? So things
like the USB printer driver don't work anymore?
What version of udev? And does this happen in a "clean" 2.6.10?
thanks,
greg k-h

modprobe usbcore yields no events to udev, as far as I can tell
by putting a catchall script in /etc/dev.d/default.
modprobe -r usbcore yields:
ACTION=remove
DEVNAME=/dev/usb
DEVPATH=/class/usb
and
ACTION=remove
DEVNAME=/dev/usb_host
DEVPATH=/class/usb_host
I'd expect to get 'add' for the same devname/devpath on load
of usbcore, or no events on usbcore removal.

039.

Will try this and more recent udev.

Stock 2.6.10 behaves the same. Oddly, updating to udev-050 makes
the remove events on usbcore removal disappear.

Nor should it. Why would you think it should? No /dev nodes are
owned by usbcore.

Ah, you mean the class add and remove. Hm, I think we don't emit those
because those are classes (not class_dev), and at remove time we don't
know to not emit them. I'm considering always emiting them at add also,
but it might mess up some userspace stuff, so I'm trying to be cautious
and test it out a lot first.
But again, udev doesn't care about these events, nor should it.
thanks,
greg k-h

Only because it emitted events on remove. :)

Probably not. Perhaps hooking into hotplug for the class is better;
what I was originally looking at is hooking into the class/device
plug for the mounting of usbfs.

I can't reproduce this here. I expect, with 050 you don't get any event
in dev.d/, not for "remove" nor for the "add" event of usbcore.
The events for class creation are just recently introduced by a change
in the driver core and I blacklisted these for udev with version 049.

Yes, hotplug.d/ should work fine for this. With the hotplug events
managed by udevd (Fedora devel already swiched to it) the only
difference between hotplug.d/ and dev.d/ is that /dev.d fires only on
node creation/removal. Everything else, the environment, the
availability of the node or wait_for_sysfs is exactly the same.
