[PATCH 3.10 126/173] 9p: send uevent after adding/removing mount_tag attribute

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Dec 02 2013 - 15:41:23 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Marineau <michael.marineau@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit e0d6cb9cd3a3ac8a3b8e5b22b83c4f8619786f22 upstream.

This driver adds an attribute to the existing virtio device so a CHANGE
event is required in order udev rules to make use of it. The ADD event
happens before this driver is probed and unlike a more typical driver
like a block device there isn't a higher level device to watch for.
