[PATCH] netdev - udevdb+dev.d changes
Here is a patch to change the netdev handling in the database and for the dev.d/ calls. I applies on top of the udevd.patch, cause klibc has no sysinfo(). o netdev's are also put into our database now. I want this for the udevruler gui to get a list of all handled devices. All devices in the db are stamped with the system uptime value at the creation time. 'udevinfo -d' prints it. o the DEVPATH value is the key for udevdb, but if we rename a netdev, the name is replaced in the kernel, so we add the changed name to the db to match with the remove event. NOTE: The dev.d/ scripts still get the original name from the hotplug call. Should we replace DEVPATH with the new name too? o We now only add a device to the db, if we have successfully created the main node or successfully renamed a netdev. This is the main part of the patch, cause I needed to clean the retval passing trough all the functions used for node creation. o DEVNODE sounds a bit ugly for netdev's so I exported DEVNAME too. Can we change the name? o I've added a UDEV_NO_DEVD to possibly skip the script execution and used it in udev-test.pl. udevstart is the same horror now, if you have scripts with logging statements in dev.d/ it takes minutes to finish, can we skip the scripts here too? o The get_device_type() function is changed to be more strict, cause 'udevinfo -a -p /block/' gets a class device for it and tries to print the major/minor values. o bugfix, the RESULT value has now a working newline removal and a test for this case.
