+The device-mapper uevent code adds the capability to device-mapper to create
+and send kobject uevents (uevents).  Previously device-mapper events were only
+available through the ioctl interface.  The advantage of the uevents interface
+is the event contains environment attributes providing increased context for
+the event avoiding the need to query the state of the device-mapper device after
+the event is received.
+
+There are two functions currently for device-mapper events.  The first function
+listed creates the event and the second function sends the event(s).
+
+void dm_path_uevent(enum dm_uevent_type event_type, struct dm_target *ti,
+                    const char *path, unsigned nr_valid_paths)
+
+void dm_send_uevents(struct list_head *events, struct kobject *kobj)
+
+
+The variables added to the uevent environment are:
+
+Variable Name: DM_TARGET
+Uevent Action(s): KOBJ_CHANGE
+Type: string
+Description:
+Value: Name of device-mapper target that generated the event.
+
+Variable Name: DM_ACTION
+Uevent Action(s): KOBJ_CHANGE
+Type: string
+Description:
+Value: Device-mapper specific action that caused the uevent action.
+	PATH_FAILED - A path has failed.
+	PATH_REINSTATED - A path has been reinstated.
+
+Variable Name: DM_SEQNUM
+Uevent Action(s): KOBJ_CHANGE
+Type: unsigned integer
+Description: A sequence number for this specific device-mapper device.
+Value: Valid unsigned integer range.
+
+Variable Name: DM_PATH
+Uevent Action(s): KOBJ_CHANGE
+Type: string
+Description: Major and minor number of the path device pertaining to this
+event.
+Value: Path name in the form of "Major:Minor"
+
+Variable Name: DM_NR_VALID_PATHS
+Uevent Action(s): KOBJ_CHANGE
+Type: unsigned integer
+Description:
+Value: Valid unsigned integer range.
+
+Variable Name: DM_NAME
+Uevent Action(s): KOBJ_CHANGE
+Type: string
+Description: Name of the device-mapper device.
+Value: Name
+
+Variable Name: DM_UUID
+Uevent Action(s): KOBJ_CHANGE
+Type: string
+Description: UUID of the device-mapper device.
+Value: UUID. (Empty string if there isn't one.)
