package/busybox: support automatic module loading with mdev

2016-03-09T22:07:44+00:00

A recently discussed on the mailing list: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2016-February/154189.html Our mdev configuration currently doesn't handle module loading. Fix that by: - Telling mdev to run modprobe on hotplug events providing MODALIAS - Adjust the init script to handle coldplug modalias events (E.G. modules for which the devices were already present before mdev was added as the hotplug handler). mdev -s should arguable handle this, but it doesn't.

busybox: provide /etc/mdev.conf if mdev is used

2011-07-11T11:41:25+00:00

Without an mdev.conf file installed, mdev generates some /dev entries in an incorrect or non-standard way. Some examples: 1. /dev/null has permissions 660, but it should be accessible to normal users; 2. alsa devices get created in /dev, not /dev/snd as is more common, and as the default value of BR2_PACKAGE_ALSA_LIB_DEVDIR suggests; 3. event files are created in /dev, not /dev/input. This mdev.conf is a selection from the examples provided in the busybox sources with minor tweaks. Signed-off-by: Luca Ceresoli Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard
