From 2da41d5f6c036e7a6e496a7e601a685f8b87acb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Stern Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2008 11:24:26 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] USB: snoop processes opening usbfs device files This patch (as1148) adds a new "snoop" message to usbfs when a device file is opened, identifying the process responsible. This comes in extremely handy when trying to determine which program is doing some unwanted USB access.
