Linux Hotplug Question

Hi All,

I am new to development under Linux 2.6 ( 2.6.16). I have a driver
that controls the input device like mouse and exports the USB data
from the kernel to user space through a device that is created under
/dev directory. I am trying to make hotplug feature available with my
driver and having some issues. When I add the device it works fine,
only When I unplug my device the kernel disconnects and deletes the
/dev/myfile, while my user space code is accessing the same.

I will really appreciate if you could provide some input or
information about how to make sure that hotplug works on Linux and if
you could let me know any links or tutorials about the same.

I did try to google but not a lot of information how user space
programs cope with hot plug.

My kernel driver for I/O is based on the usb-skeleton.c. This is work
in progress for me and I used a simple kernel driver. On the user
space all I do is a while loop to check and read the information from
the /dev/myfile* files.

I will really appreciate your feedback and help
Regards
