Re: [RFC PATCH 0/8] Add configurable block device LED triggers

Hi!

This patch series adds configurable (i.e. user-defined) block device LED
triggers.

* Triggers can be created, listed, and deleted via sysfs block class
  attributes (led_trigger_{new,list,del}).

* Once created, block device LED triggers are associated with LEDs just
  like any other LED trigger (via /sys/class/leds/${LED}/trigger).

* Each block device gains a new device attribute (led_trigger) that can
  be used to associate the device with a trigger or clear its
  association.

That's not how this is normally done.

We normally have a trigger ("block device activity") which can then
expose parameters ("I watch for read" and "I monitor sda1").

Is there a reason normal solution can not be used?

Best regards,
								Pavel
