[RFC PATCH 2/8] block: Add block device LED trigger list

Ian Pilcher arequipeno at gmail.com
Wed Jul 28 21:53:38 EDT 2021


* New config option (CONFIG_BLK_LED_TRIGGERS) to enable/disable
  block device LED triggers

* New file - block/blk-ledtrig.c

* Use a linked list of dynamically allocated triggers.  There
  aren't likely to be that many of them, and the list is only
  searched when creating/deleting a trigger or setting/clearing
  a device/trigger association - none of which should occur very
  often.
