[PATCH] USB: real nodes instead of usbfs
This patch introduces a /sys/class/usb_device/ class where every connected usb-device will show up: tree /sys/class/usb_device/ /sys/class/usb_device/ |-- usb1.1 | |-- dev | `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb1 |-- usb2.1 | |-- dev | `-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.1/usb2 ... The presence of the "dev" file lets udev create real device nodes. kay@pim:~/src/linux-2.6> tree /dev/bus/usb/ /dev/bus/usb/ |-- 1 | `-- 1 |-- 2 | `-- 1 ... udev rule: SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usb_device %k", NAME="%c" (echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usb\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/') This makes libusb pick up the real nodes instead of the mounted usbfs: export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb Background: All this makes it possible to manage usb devices with udev instead of the devfs solution. We are currently working on a pam_console/resmgr replacement driven by udev and a pam-helper. It applies ACL's to device nodes, which is required for modern desktop functionalty like "Fast User Switching" or multiple local login support. New patch with its own major. I've succesfully disabled usbfs and use real nodes only on my box. With: "export USB_DEVFS_PATH=/dev/bus/usb" libusb picks up the udev managed nodes instead of reading usbfs files. This makes udev to provide symlinks for libusb to pick up: SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/sbin/usbdevice %k", SYMLINK="%c" /sbin/usbdevice: #!/bin/sh echo $1 | /bin/sed 's/usbdev\([0-9]*\)\.\([0-9]*\)/bus\/usb\/\1\/\2/' Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
