Status of Hotplug polling patches?
Hi TeJun,
I have a machine that I've been using 2.6.19 and your hotplug polling patches on with great success and I just upgraded it to 2.6.20 and it appears that getting those patches working again will be non-trivial. As far as I can see, these patches are not in Jeff's tree or even yours. Have they been discarded, or am I looking in the wrong place? I certainly don't see equivalent functionality in the current kernel.
The warmplug sysfs-foo isn't particularly inconvenient as I need to explicitly unmount filesystems anyway, but it would be nice to see hotplug working again.
(The machine is using an nvidia mcp55)
Thanks,
--phil

To turn it on and off libata needs per-dev sysfs interface which it currently doesn't have. This is on to-do list as PMP support needs it too.
