Call for testing 1 month ago. But there is no update.

I discussed this on IRC: The patch to remove the option has been deferred upstream because RedHat still relies on /proc/bus/usb for their initramfs.

[Bug 311481] Re: still uses /proc/bus/usb for $DEVICE
After cherry pick patch from Scott, I built 2 kernel deb for testing. Please find deb package in the following URL: http://people.ubuntu.com/~roc/linux-image-2.6.28-14-generic_2.6.28-14.45_lp311481_amd64.deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~roc/linux-image-2.6.28-14-generic_2.6.28-14.45_lp311481_i386.deb And my git tree branch is http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=roc/ubuntu- jaunty.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/lp311481 It might break some application in Jaunty, if so we can not merge it as SRU.

[Bug 311481] Re: still uses /proc/bus/usb for $DEVICE
The bug is in Ubuntu userspace changing the mount point for usbfs. It should be /proc/bus/usb, to match all the various programs that understand that convention. Doing otherwise breaks them. The ABI for usbfs is /proc/bus/usb. Re why ship with usbfs enabled ... it's used all over the place. Why would you choose to break programs? -- still uses /proc/bus/usb for $DEVICE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311481 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 311481] Re: still uses /proc/bus/usb for $DEVICE
Why would you ever choose to use a system which has user space configurable. But refuse to fix programs that break when that flexibility is employed. No, the kernel and any other program that assumes /proc/usb are broken. ABI does not extend to mount points. If it does, then you should be sure to bring that mount point out of configuration files and into code where it can not be changed without hacking. -- still uses /proc/bus/usb for $DEVICE https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311481 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
