From: Kristen Carlson Accardi Date: Wed, 23 May 2007 20:57:38 +0000 (-0700) Subject: genhd: expose AN to user space X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=86ce18d7b7925bfd6b64c061828ca2a857ee83b8;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git genhd: expose AN to user space Allow user space to determine if a disk supports Asynchronous Notification of media changes. This is done by adding a new sysfs file "capability_flags", which is documented in (insert file name). This sysfs file will export all disk capabilities flags to user space. We also define a new flag to define the media change notification capability.
