Kay Sievers | 7934779 | 2010-01-14 22:49:39 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | Before the switch to the netlink-based uevent source, this was |
| 11 | used to hook hotplug scripts into kernel device events. It |
| 12 | usually pointed to a shell script at /sbin/hotplug. |
| 13 | This should not be used today, because usual systems create |
| 14 | many events at bootup or device discovery in a very short time |
| 15 | frame. One forked process per event can create so many processes |
| 16 | that it creates a high system load, or on smaller systems |
| 17 | it is known to create out-of-memory situations during bootup. |
