block: partition: add partition specific uevent callbacks for partition info
This patch has been carried in the Android tree for quite some time and is one of the few patches required to get a mainline kernel up and running with an exsiting Android userspace. So I wanted to submit it for review and consideration if it should be merged. For partitions, add new uevent parameters 'PARTN' which specifies the partitions index in the table, and 'PARTNAME', which specifies PARTNAME specifices the partition name of a partition device. Android's userspace uses this for creating device node links from the partition name and number, ie: /dev/block/platform/soc/by-name/system or /dev/block/platform/soc/by-num/p1 One can see its usage here: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/init/devices.cpp#355 and https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/init/devices.cpp#494 [john.stultz@linaro.org: dropped NPARTS and reworded commit message for context] Signed-off-by: Dima Zavin <dima@android.com> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Rom Lemarchand <romlem@google.com> Cc: Android Kernel Team <kernel-team@android.com> Cc: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Cc: <harald@redhat.com> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
