From 0296b2281352e4794e174b393c37f131502e09f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kay Sievers Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2005 05:33:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] remove CONFIG_KOBJECT_UEVENT option It makes zero sense to have hotplug, but not the netlink events enabled today. Remove this option and merge the kobject_uevent.h header into the kobject.h header file.

The seqnum is no longer used by udev, as the version for this kernel depends on netlink which events will never get out-of-order. Recent udev versions disable the /sbin/hotplug helper with an init script, cause it leads to OOM on big boxes by running hundreds of shells in parallel. It should be done now by: echo "" > /sys/kernel/uevent_helper (Note that "-n" does not work, cause neighter proc nor sysfs support truncate().)
