2005-04-26[PATCH] make udev-test.pl test for root permissions before runninggreg@kroah.com
Should prevent false error reports from happening.

2005-04-26[PATCH] big cleanup of internal udev apikay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here is the first patch to cleanup the internal processing of the various stages of an udev event. It should not change any behavior, but if your system depends on udev, please always test it before reboot :) We pass only one generic structure around between add, remove, namedev, db and dev_d handling and make all relevant data available to all internal stages. All udev structures are renamed to "udev". We replace the fake parameter by a flag in the udev structure. We open the class device in the main binaries and not in udev_add, to make it possible to use libsysfs for udevstart directory crawling. The last sleep parameters are removed.
2005-04-26[PATCH] fix problems using scsi_id with udevstartkay.sievers@vrfy.org
when udevstart was running we didn't set the environment and the subsystem argument for the callouts the dev.d/ scripts. Here is a fix, that sets that with every udevstart iteration, corrects argv[0] to be the basename() only not the whole path and adds a test for invoking callouts without arguments.

Here are the tests for the enumeration character %e. I've added a option string to be able to do a whole sequence of tests without node removal, so we can skip the "remove" event and get an increasing number to append to the name. After the sequence test the whole directory is cleaned for the next tests.

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. It only happens if the file ends with whitespace-only lines. Here is a fix and a test for udev-test.pl to cover that case.

2005-04-26[PATCH] netdev - udevdb+dev.d changeskay.sievers@vrfy.org
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.
2005-04-26[PATCH] hmm, handle net devices with udev?kay.sievers@vrfy.org
Hmm, Arndt Bergmann sent a patch like this one a few weeks ago and I want to bring the question back, if we want to handle net device naming with udev. With this patch it is actually possible to specify something like this in udev.rules: KERNEL="dummy*", SYSFS{address}="00:00:00:00:00:00", SYSFS{features}="0x0", NAME="blind%n" KERNEL="eth*", SYSFS{address}="00:0d:60:77:30:91", NAME="private" and you will get: [root@pim udev.kay]# cat /proc/net/dev Inter-| Receive | Transmit face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes packets errs drop fifo colls carrier compressed lo: 1500 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 1500 30 0 0 0 0 0 0 private: 278393 1114 0 0 0 0 0 0 153204 1468 0 0 0 0 0 0 sit0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 blind0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 The udevinfo program is also working: [root@pim udev.kay]# ./udevinfo -a -p /sys/class/net/private looking at class device '/sys/class/net/private': SYSFS{addr_len}="6" SYSFS{address}="00:0d:60:77:30:91" SYSFS{broadcast}="ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff" SYSFS{features}="0x3a9" SYSFS{flags}="0x1003" SYSFS{ifindex}="2" SYSFS{iflink}="2" SYSFS{mtu}="1500" SYSFS{tx_queue_len}="1000" SYSFS{type}="1" follow the class device's "device" looking at the device chain at '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:01.0': BUS="pci" ID="0000:02:01.0" SYSFS{class}="0x020000" SYSFS{detach_state}="0" SYSFS{device}="0x101e" SYSFS{irq}="11" SYSFS{subsystem_device}="0x0549" SYSFS{subsystem_vendor}="0x1014" SYSFS{vendor}="0x8086" The matching device will be renamed to the given name. The device name will not be put into the udev database, cause the kernel renames the device and the sysfs name disappears. I like it, cause it plugs in nicely. We have all the naming features and sysfs queries and walks inside of udev. The sysfs timing races are already solved and the management tools are working for net devices too. nameif can only match the MAC address now. udev can match any sysfs value of the device tree the net device is connected to. But right, net devices do not have device nodes :)

2005-04-26[PATCH] "symlink only" testkay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here is a test for the "symlink only" rule. Any reason to do the apply_format() inside the loop? I've changed it.
2005-04-26[PATCH] callout part selector tweakkay.sievers@vrfy.org
Martin Schwenke <martin@meltin.net> asked for this feature and posted a patch: The following patch almost let's me have the following configuration: PROGRAM="/sbin/aliaser %b %k %n %M %m", RESULT="?*", NAME="%c{1}", SYMLINK="%c{2+}" allowing me to specify an arbitrary number of symlinks by saying "giveme the second and later words"." Here is the actual version with tests and a few words in the man page.
2005-04-26[PATCH] cleanup callout forkkay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here I change the callout fork logic. The current cersion is unable to read a pipe which is not flushed at once, Now we read until it's closed. The maximum argument count is calculated by the strlen now. We have 100 chars for our result buffer so we can't have more than 50 parameters. So it's much more clear what will happen now and not some magic boundary where we use shell behind it. Parameter can be combined to one by using apostrophes. this on works now: BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'echo foo3 foo4 foo5 foo6 foo7 foo8 foo9 | sed s/foo9/bar9/'", KERNEL="sda3", NAME="%c{7}" Two new test are also added.
2005-04-26[PATCH] conditional remove of trailing sysfs whitespacekay.sievers@vrfy.org
Hey, it may never happen, that one wants to distinguish attributes by trailing spaces, but we should not lose the control over it, just for being lazy :) Here we remove the trailing spaces of the sysfs attribute only if the configured value to match doesn't have any trailing spaces by itself. So if you put a attribute in a rule with spaces at the end, the sysfs attribute _must_ match exactly. Is that cool for everyone? As usual, 2 tests are added for it with a artificial sysfs file and a few words to the man page.
2005-04-26[PATCH] add tests for NAME="foo-%c{N}"patmans@us.ibm.com
Here is a patch for some new tests.
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev - activate formt length attributekay.sievers@vrfy.org
We carried the the old callout part selector syntax for two releases now after it was replaced by the new %c{1} syntax. So here we remove the old syntax and use the code to possibly specify the maximum count of chars to insert into the string. It will work with all of our format chars. I don't know if somebody will use it, but the code is already there :) 's%3s{vendor}' returns "IBM" now, instead of "IBM-ESXS". Also added is a test for it and a few words in the man page.
2005-04-26[PATCH] remove limit of the number of args passed to PROGRAMgreg@kroah.com
If we go over our internal limit of 7, then we call out to /bin/sh otherwise we handle it ourself without relying on a shell.
2005-04-26[PATCH] add a "old style" SYSFS_attribute test to udev-test.plgreg@kroah.com
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev - switch callout part selector to {attribute}kay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here we change the magic callout part number selector to the new atribute syntax. The syntax to select the second part of the callout string: '%2c' is now '%c{2}' I think it's more clear and we no longer misuse the length argument. The old syntax is still supported, but we should remove it some time in the future.
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev - switch SYSFS_file to SYSFS{file}kay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here we switch the configs and man pages to the new attribute syntax. Also the 'partition trick' is mentioned in udev.8 I think it's more clear visible now, that inside the brackets are user supplied values used and not some magic keys handled: 'SYSFS_dev' is now 'SYSFS{dev}' The old syntax is still supported.
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev add some ID testspatmans@us.ibm.com
Patch against current udev bk to add a few ID rule tests.
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev - create all partitions of blockdevicekay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here is the first try to create all partitons of a blockdevice, since removable media devices may need to acces the expected partition to revalidate the media. It uses the attribute syntax introduced with the last %s{file} patch. I'm using this with my multi-slot-flash-card-reader: SYSFS{model}="USB Storage-SMC ", NAME{all_partitions}="smartmedia" SYSFS{model}="USB Storage-CFC ", NAME{all_partitions}="compactflash" SYSFS{model}="USB Storage-MSC ", NAME{all_partitions}="memorystick" SYSFS{model}="USB Storage-MMC ", NAME{all_partitions}="multimedia" and I get: tree /udev/ /udev/ |-- memorystick |-- memorystick1 |-- memorystick10 |-- memorystick11 |-- memorystick12 |-- memorystick13 |-- memorystick14 |-- memorystick15 |-- memorystick2 |-- memorystick3 |-- memorystick4 |-- memorystick5 |-- memorystick6 |-- memorystick7 |-- memorystick8 |-- memorystick9 |-- multimedia |-- multimedia1 |-- multimedia10 |-- multimedia11 |-- multimedia12 |-- multimedia13 |-- multimedia14 |-- multimedia15 |-- multimedia2 |-- multimedia3 |-- multimedia4 |-- multimedia5 |-- multimedia6 |-- multimedia7 |-- multimedia8 |-- multimedia9 ... If needed, we can make the number of partions to create adjustable with the attribute?

Better patch with infrastructure to easily implement KEY{attribute} for every other key. The first user is the SYSFS{file} key. Both versions, brackets or underscore is supported for the attribute.

The parsing of the format length '%3x' and the '%x{attribute}' is a fuction now, maybe there are more possible users in the future. I've also added the test to udev-test.pl.

After a conversation with Patrick, we are now able to execute the PROGRAM and also match in all following rules with the RESULT value from this exec. EXAMPLE: We have 7 rules with RESULT and 2 with PROGRAM. Only the 5th rule matches with the callout result from the exec in the 4th rule. RULES: PROGRAM="/bin/echo abc", RESULT="no_match", NAME="web-no-2" KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-no-3" KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-no-4" PROGRAM="/bin/echo 123", RESULT="no_match", NAME="web-no-5" KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-yes" RESULT: Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: process rule Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check PROGRAM Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: execute_program: executing '/bin/echo abc' Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: execute_program: result is 'abc' Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: PROGRAM returned successful Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check for RESULT dev->result='no_match', udev->program_result='abc' Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: RESULT is not matching Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: process rule Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check for KERNEL dev->kernel='video*' class_dev->name='video0' Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: KERNEL matches Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check for RESULT dev->result='123', udev->program_result='abc' Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: RESULT is not matching Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: process rule Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check for KERNEL dev->kernel='video*' class_dev->name='video0' Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: KERNEL matches Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check for RESULT dev->result='123', udev->program_result='abc' Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: RESULT is not matching Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: process rule Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check PROGRAM Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: execute_program: executing '/bin/echo 123' Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: execute_program: result is '123' Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: PROGRAM returned successful Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check for RESULT dev->result='no_match', udev->program_result='123' Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: RESULT is not matching Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: process rule Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check for KERNEL dev->kernel='video*' class_dev->name='video0' Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: KERNEL matches Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: check for RESULT dev->result='123', udev->program_result='123' Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: RESULT matches Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: found matching rule, 'video*' becomes '' Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: name, 'web-yes' is going to have owner='', group='', mode = 0600

o change the parsing to get a key from the rule and sort it into our list of known keys instead of expecting a special order o the key to match a sysfs file must be prependend by 'SYSFS_' now to match with the new parsing. (The config must be changed, but it's a bit more descriptive too.) o put names of fields in define's, like the name of the methods o update all tests and the man page
2005-04-26[PATCH] get part of callout return stringkay.sievers@vrfy.org
Try this patch if you like, to get special parts of the callout output. This beast works now: CALLOUT, BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/bin/echo -n node link1 link2", ID="node *", NAME="%1c", SYMLINK="%2c %3c" The callout returned string is separated by spaces and is addressed by the "len" value of the 'c' format char. Since we support symlinks, this my be useful for other uses of callout too. introduce 'len number' for format chars the first use is 'c'-the callout return to select a part of the output string like: CALLOUT, BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/bin/echo -n node link1 link2", ID="node *", NAME="%1c", SYMLINK="%2c %3c" (note: first part is requested by len=1, len=0 will return the whole string) add a test to udev-test.pl

REPLACE, KERNEL="ttyUSB0", NAME="visor", SYMLINK="first-%n second-%n third-%n" results in: Dec 9 05:28:51 pim udev[12019]: create_node: mknod(udev-root/visor, 020666, 188, 0) Dec 9 05:28:51 pim udev[12019]: create_node: symlink 'udev-root/first-0' to node 'visor' requested Dec 9 05:28:51 pim udev[12019]: create_node: symlink(./visor, udev-root/first-0) Dec 9 05:28:51 pim udev[12019]: create_node: symlink 'udev-root/second-0' to node 'visor' requested Dec 9 05:28:51 pim udev[12019]: create_node: symlink(./visor, udev-root/second-0) Dec 9 05:28:51 pim udev[12019]: create_node: symlink 'udev-root/third-0' to node 'visor' requested Dec 9 05:28:51 pim udev[12019]: create_node: symlink(./visor, udev-root/third-0)
