2005-04-26[PATCH] clarify the shortcomings of %ekay.sievers@vrfy.org
2005-04-26[PATCH] add ENV{} key to match agains environment variableskay.sievers@vrfy.org
2005-04-26[PATCH] support =, ==, !=, += for the key match and assignmentkay.sievers@vrfy.org
2005-04-26[PATCH] remove PLACE key matchkay.sievers@vrfy.org
ID should do the same, cause we walk up the chain of devices on the physical device and can match for the name of every device there with the ID key.
2005-04-26[PATCH] introduce OPTIONS=ignore_device, ignore_remove, all_partitions" keykay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here we move all possible options into a own key to make it possible to have options-only rules. The options on the NAME key are removed from the man page and will be removed from a future version of udev. For ignore rules, OPTIONS="ignore" should be used. The rule: SUBSYSTEM="block", SYSFS{removable}="1", OPTIONS="all_partitions" will create all partitions for a block device which is known to have removable media (a check for cdrom drives would be needed too).
2005-04-26[PATCH] add %P modifier to query the node name of the parent devicekay.sievers@vrfy.org
Events for partition devies may want to read the main block device name to compose it's own name or read a disklabel from the main device. SUBSYSTEM="block", KERNEL="*[1-9]", NAME="%P-p%n" will append the partition number to the name of the main block device.
2005-04-26[PATCH] provide temporary device node for callouts to access the devicekay.sievers@vrfy.org
%N will create a temporary node for a callout a be sustituted with the name of the node.
2005-04-26[PATCH] correct log statementkay.sievers@vrfy.org
2005-04-26[PATCH] remove default_* permissions from udev.conf filekay.sievers@vrfy.org
With the "permissions only rules" we can just place: MODE="0660", OWNER="root", GROUP="root" at the beginning of the rules file and get exactly the same behavior. If no values are given the compiled-in defaults are used.
2005-04-26[PATCH] allow multiline rules by backslash at the end of the linekay.sievers@vrfy.org

2005-04-26[PATCH] simplify rules file by setting default mode to 0660kay.sievers@vrfy.org

2005-04-26[PATCH] remove permissions file mentioning from the udev man pagekay.sievers@vrfy.org
2005-04-26[PATCH] complete removal of explicit udev permissions config filekay.sievers@vrfy.org
2005-04-26[PATCH] I made some more changes to the manpage of udev including:tklauser@access.unizh.ch
Patch-From: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@access.unizh.ch> - Move the description of the environment variables to a new section called "ENVIRONMENT" (as stated in man(7)) - Pointer to the "official" udev homepage - Fixes for various typos and whitespace damages
2005-04-26[PATCH] Various typos and other litte errors in udev.8.inklauser@access.unizh.ch
Thanks-To: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@access.unizh.ch> While crawling through the udev manpage I noticed some typos and other grammatical errors. English is not my native language, so I'm not sure if I fixed everything right. I would be glad if any English-speaking person could check this patch before applying.
2005-04-26[PATCH] update the man pages and correct Usage: hintskay.sievers@vrfy.org
Add UDEV_LOG to the man udev man page. Remove mention of specific variables from the udevd/udevsend man page as we changed to pass the whole environment. Correct printed Usage: of udevtest and udevinfo. Init the config in udevtest earlier to accept input with and without the sysfs mount point.
2005-04-26[PATCH] add NAME{ignore_remove} attributekay.sievers@vrfy.org
Some broken ide drivers are generating high event traffic, with add/remove events. With this attribute, it can be specified, that the node is always available. It may be used in conjunction with the new DRIVER= match to catch specific kernel device drivers.
2005-04-26[PATCH] support DRIVER as a rule keykay.sievers@vrfy.org
Match with a rule against a device with a specific kernel driver.
2005-04-26[PATCH] support SUBSYSTEM as a rule keykay.sievers@vrfy.org
This should make it easier to catch e.g all block or net devices with a single rule.
2005-04-26[PATCH] replace tdb database by simple lockless file databasekay.sievers@vrfy.org
This makes the udev operation completely lockless by storing a file for every node in /dev/.udevdb/* This solved the problem with deadlocking concurrent udev processes waiting for each other to release the file lock under heavy load.
2005-04-26[PATCH] $local userkay.sievers@vrfy.org
We once implemented the devfsd feature to set the owner of a device node to the "local" user. This was before we had the dev.d/ scripts. We discussed a similar issue with D-BUS recently and this should be better handled depending on the distributions way to do such a thing. I'm for removing this here as this can be easily covered by a dev.d/ script. Here is the patch if nobody objects :)
2005-04-26[PATCH] remove sleeps from udev as it is external nowkay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here we remove all the sysfs sleep loops from udev as wait_for_sysfs will do this for us and any other hotplug user. We still keep a small blacklist of subsystems we don't care about but any missing entry here will no longer lead to a spinning udev waiting for files.

I've also added an example. Also, Kay pointed out offlist that the rules can be written to not require a shell script; this actually works KERNEL="sr*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e" KERNEL="scd*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e" KERNEL="pcd*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e" KERNEL="hd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media", RESULT="cdrom", NAME="\%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e" KERNEL="fd[0-9]", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="floppy%e" KERNEL="hd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media", RESULT="floppy", NAME=\"%k", SYMLINK="floppy%e" New patch is attached.

2005-04-26[PATCH] udev default config layout changeskay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here we catch up, after the default config changes. o the man page is updated to reflect the new default config o /etc/udev/rules.d/ + permissions.d/ dirs are created now o udev.rules is installed in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules so the user can easily order the files by prepending a number. (RedHat has the same name in the last rpm.) o defined directory names in the Makefile are all without slashes now, not the first half with and the remaining without. o all binaries are uninstalled now o leading slashes in config values are now removed or prepended while the config is parsed, so we are more robust if the usere changes something. o replaced the macros from udev_config.c with real code, cause we can skip if the value matches and not useless iterate over the remaining fields. o config parsing errors are logged with info() now, fixes the bug where we report a error with debug_parse(), even when there isn't one
2005-04-26[PATCH] man page cleanupkay.sievers@vrfy.org
Small cleanup of the wording in the udev. man page.
2005-04-26[PATCH] convert udev.8.in to use @udevdir@ macro for make install.greg@kroah.com
2005-04-26[PATCH] first step of making man pages dynamically generated.greg@kroah.com
Based on a an original patch from Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de>
