[PATCH] 2.4.x USB and 1394 hotplug

From: Erik Andersen
Date: Fri Sep 24 2004 - 20:43:32 EST


This patch has been in use locally for quite some time now and
makes working with USB and 1394 mass-storage devices in 2.4.x a
much less painful experience. When devices are plugged in, they
are automagically connected up to the scsi subsystem without the
need to rescan all scsi busses or echo things into
/proc/scsi/scsi. When devices are unplugged, they are
automagically removed from the scsi subsystem, instead of hanging
around registered but with no media actually present.
