<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi,<BR>
<BR>
I'm having problems scanning usb_endpoint '/dev's on older kernels, 2.6.13 in particular.<BR>
The usb_endpoints are beyond the constant MAX_SYSFS_DEPTH somewhere under /sys.<BR>
<BR>
Is there any particular reason for scanning /sys/block and /sys/class separately other than<BR>
to ascertain a nodes type?<BR>
<BR>
Assuming a particular <name>/dev combination is unambiguous, one could scan the entire /sys tree<BR>
without missing any '/dev's. I see three prerequisites. The first is to ignore links while traversing<BR>
, the second is to drop the maximal search depth and last determine a nodes type by searching<BR>
for '/block/' in the first len('/class/block/') characters in the resulting search path.<BR>
<BR>
A solution may however, result in longer scan times, but reduces executable size and code complexity.<BR>
<BR>
