How about I wait until someone really needs this function before adding it? Or do you have a patch that does need it? thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Sleepycat Software Learn developer strategies Cisco, Motorola, Ericsson & Lucent use to deliver higher performing products faster, at low TCO. http://www.sleepycat.com/telcomwpreg.php?From=osdnemail3 _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread

Or do you have a patch that does need it? I've just sent a patch for system suspend/resume notifiers that uses it. If that patch isn't accepted then sounds like this could wait. Device power state change notifiers were also discussed recently, which would also use kobject synchronous hotplug if accepted, but the fate of that notifier is in doubt.
