Hi,
I see lot of modalias files under /sys directory.
For e.g:
# cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.0/0000:02:00.0/modalias
pci:v00001556d00005555sv00004000sd00000000bc08sc05i01
I would like to know which part of the kernel module creates sysfs modalias file?
The kernel bus code for the device that the bus is on creates this. For this example, the PCI bus code does this work.
How does udev load modules dynamically when a new device is added?
The book, "Linux Device Drivers, version 3", free online, has a whole section on this, I suggest reading it.
Where should I look for default udev rules?
In the udev or systemd package on your machine. Specific ways to do this depends on your distro. greg k-h
