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] 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.
