From e105b8bfc769b0545b6f0f395179d1e43cbee822 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2008 10:51:07 -0700 Subject: sysfs: add /sys/dev/{char,block} to lookup sysfs path by major:minor Why?: There are occasions where userspace would like to access sysfs attributes for a device but it may not know how sysfs has named the device or the path. For example what is the sysfs path for /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK? With this change a call to stat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that /sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc. What are the alternatives?: 1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this seems counter productive. 2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited environment like an initramfs. 3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.
