      [PATCH] add the physical device and the bus to the hotplug environment · 8f2a5465
      Kay Sievers authored
      Add the sysfs path of the physical device to the hotplug event of class
      and block devices. This should solve the userspace issue not to know if
      the device is a virtual one and the "device" symlink will never be created,
      but we sit there and wait for it to show up not knowing when we should
      give up.
      
      Also the bus name is added to the hotplug event, so we don't need to
      reverse lookup in the /sys/bus/* directory which bus our physical
      device belongs to. This is e.g. the value matched against the BUS= key,
      that may be used in an udev rule.
      
      This is a PCI network card:
        ACTION=add
        SUBSYSTEM=net
        DEVPATH=/class/net/eth0
        PHYSDEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:01.0
        PHYSDEVBUS=pci
        INTERFACE=eth0
        SEQNUM=827
        PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
        HOME=/
      
      This is a IDE CDROM:
        ACTION=add
        SUBSYSTEM=block
        DEVPATH=/block/hdc
        PHYSDEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.1/ide1/1.0
        PHYSDEVBUS=ide
        SEQNUM=1017
        PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
        HOME=/
      
      This is an USB-stick partition:
        ACTION=add
        SUBSYSTEM=block
        DEVPATH=/block/sda/sda1
        PHYSDEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb3/3-1/3-1:1.0/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0
        PHYSDEVBUS=scsi
        SEQNUM=1032
        PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
        HOME=/
