[PATCH] 9p: send uevent after adding/removing mount_tag attribute

From: Michael Marineau
Date: Sun Aug 11 2013 - 00:54:44 EST


This driver adds an attribute to the existing virtio device so a CHANGE
event is required in order udev rules to make use of it. The ADD event
happens before this driver is probed and unlike a more typical driver
like a block device there isn't a higher level device to watch for.
