device-mapper uevent
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
The device-mapper uevent code adds the capability to device-mapper to create
|
|
and send kobject uevents (uevents). Previously device-mapper events were only
|
|
available through the ioctl interface. The advantage of the uevents interface
|
|
is the event contains environment attributes providing increased context for
|
|
the event avoiding the need to query the state of the device-mapper device after
|
|
the event is received.
|
|
|
|
There are two functions currently for device-mapper events. The first function
|
|
listed creates the event and the second function sends the event(s)::
|
|
|
|
void dm_path_uevent(enum dm_uevent_type event_type, struct dm_target *ti,
|
|
const char *path, unsigned nr_valid_paths)
|
|
|
|
void dm_send_uevents(struct list_head *events, struct kobject *kobj)
|
|
|
|
|
|
The variables added to the uevent environment are:
|
|
|
|
Variable Name: DM_TARGET
|
|
------------------------
|
|
:Uevent Action(s): KOBJ_CHANGE
|
|
:Type: string
|
|
:Description:
|
|
:Value: Name of device-mapper target that generated the event.
|
|
|
|
Variable Name: DM_ACTION
|
|
------------------------
|
|
:Uevent Action(s): KOBJ_CHANGE
|
|
:Type: string
|
|
:Description:
|
|
:Value: Device-mapper specific action that caused the uevent action.
|
|
PATH_FAILED - A path has failed;
|
|
PATH_REINSTATED - A path has been reinstated.
|
|
|
|
Variable Name: DM_SEQNUM
|
|
------------------------
|
|

|
:Description: A sequence number for this specific device-mapper device.
|
|
:Value: Valid unsigned integer range.
|
|
|
|
Variable Name: DM_PATH
|
|
----------------------
|
|
:Uevent Action(s): KOBJ_CHANGE
|
|
:Type: string
|
|
:Description: Major and minor number of the path device pertaining to this
|
|
event.
|
|
:Value: Path name in the form of "Major:Minor"
|
|
|
|
Variable Name: DM_NR_VALID_PATHS
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
:Uevent Action(s): KOBJ_CHANGE
|
|
:Type: unsigned integer
|
|
:Description:
|
|
:Value: Valid unsigned integer range.
|
|
|
|
Variable Name: DM_NAME
|
|
----------------------
|
|
:Uevent Action(s): KOBJ_CHANGE
|
|
:Type: string
|
|
:Description: Name of the device-mapper device.
|
|
:Value: Name
|
|
|
|
Variable Name: DM_UUID
|
|
----------------------
|
|
:Uevent Action(s): KOBJ_CHANGE
|
|
:Type: string
|
|
:Description: UUID of the device-mapper device.
|
|
:Value: UUID. (Empty string if there isn't one.)
