%N will create a temporary node for a callout a be sustituted with the
name of the node.
|
|
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.

Initialize the defaults in udev_config.c instead of namedev.c.
Replace macro by expanded code. Switch to mode_t instead
of string value. Add and clarify some comments.
|
|
|
|
Remove udev.bus, cause it's currently unused and newer kernels will pass
it in the hotplug environment as PHYSDEVBUS.
Remove udev.action, cause it's unused.
Rename udev_set_values() to udev_init_device().
|
|
|
|
|
|
If /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug points to /sbin/udevsend we handle the whole
hotplug event with multiplexing /etc/hotplug.d/.
|
|
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.
|
|
Move the logic when and how to call the dev.d/ scripts into the
main processing path.
|
|
Remove the overwriting of main_argv[] hack and use the values
from the udev object.
Pass the udev object to call_foreach_file().
In the udevstart case, export SUBSYSTEM and UDEVSTART to the
environment.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|

Here we supress the dev.d/ execution if we didn't change a network
interface's name with a rule. This should solve the issue of two
running dhclients for the same interface, cause the
/etc/dev.d/net/hotplug.dev script that fakes the hotplug event runs
with every udevstart for every interface and fakes a second identical
hotplug event on bootup.
With this patch netif interfaces are no longer stored in the udevdb.
It is not needed, cause we don't have permissions or symlinks :) and
all information is available in sysfs.
This patch also moves the dev_d execution calls out of the
udev_add/udev_remove. As with the former api-cleanup-patch we have
all processed data in one udev struct and can place the execution
calls where needed.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Here is the patch, that should prevent all of the known deadlocks with
corrupt tdb databases we discovered.
Thanks to Frank Steiner <fsteiner-mail@bio.ifi.lmu.de>, who tested all this
endlessly with a NFS mounted /dev. The conclusion is, that udev will not work
on filesystems without proper record locking, but we should prevent the
endless loops anyway. This patch implements:
o recovery from a corrupted udev database. udev will continue
without database support now, instead of doing nothing. So the node should
be generated in any case, remove will obviously not work for custom names.
o added iteration limits to the tdb-code at the places we discovered endless
loops. In the case tdb tries to find more than 100.000 entries with the
same hash, we better give up :)
o prevent a {all_partitions} loop caused by corrupt db data
o log all tdb errors to syslog
o switch sleep() to usleep() cause we want to use alarm()
|
|
The kernel will use a u64 for the sequence number, so we want the same.

How about something like this. It adds all the net devices without
looking at the attributes and keeps the remaining logic like it is.
It also removes certain levels of indirection and much simplifies the
udevstart process. We surely don't need to open and close the udevdb
for every node while iterating over the list. (We are about 5% faster on
my box)
It's not well tested, so it would be nice if someone can have a look
at it, before a broken udevstart renders any system unbootable.

Thanks for the cleanup.
You may have overlooked the fix for udev_config.c(parsing udev.conf) in
your patch. So, I've adapted the fixes you applied to namedev_parse.c
to this file also.
Also, while 'eating' the whitespace the 'count' doesn't get decremented.
This leads strncpy to copy the number of whitespace minus 1 characters
from the next line. Minus 1 because it copies '\n' from the current
line.
while (isspace(bufline[0])) {
bufline++;
+ count--;
}
.
.
.
strncpy(line, bufline, count);
Included patch(against udev-030) contains the above fixes as well as
your fixes.

here we change udevd to pass the SEQNUM from the hotplug environment
to udev and the dev.d/ scripts. We need this for HAL to match the
hotplug event with the dev.d/ events.
It also changes the type from int to long to match the kernel.

Hi,
The following patch makes udev/udevstart be a common binary. First,
doing this grows udev by a total of 1.8kB (ppc32, stripped) whereas
udevstart by itself is 6.4kB. I know you mentioned being able to
replace udevstart with a script, but at 1.8kB I don't think it'll be
easy to beat this with size there. Next, the following are by-eye
timings of before, after, and with devfs on a slow, but still usable
embedded platform (config stripped down to more-or-less bare for
ramdisk):
-- Embedded Planet RPX LITE, 64Mhz MPC 823e --
devfs : 15.333s, 15.253s, 14.988s (15.191s avg)
udev-pristine : 18.675s, 18.079s, 18.418s (18.390s avg)
udev-multi : 14.587s, 14.747s, 14.868s (14.734s avg)
The patch ends up being rather large to add this, as in doing so I ended
up making all refs (that I hit..) to devpath/subsystem be marked as
'const'.

Here we change the DEVPATH for netdev's in the environment of the dev.d/
scripts to the name the device is renamed to. The original name doesn't
exist in the kernel after rename.
|
|
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.

Here is the next step, I still can't sleep and there are to many patches
pending to make something useful :)
Cause nobody wanted to play with me, I've made a screenshot.
The device list is sorted in alphabetical order now and if there are only
a few recently discovered devices, they are placed on top of the list.
For those who want to have a look:
http://vrfy.org/projects/udev/udevruler.png
The patch applies on top of today's mmap() patch. The db format is
changed to have the file and line number of the applied rule. So it
should be easy to edit the matching rule with this beast. It compiles
with "make all udevruler".

Here we replace the various fgets() with a mmap() call for the config
file reading, due to the reported performance problems with klibc.
Thanks to Patrick's testing, it makes a very small, close to nothing
speed gain for libc users, but a 6 times speed increase for klibc users
with a 1000 line config file.
I've created a udev_lib.[hc] for this and also moved all the generic
stuff from udev.h in there and uninlined the functions.

Hey, I wrote the strn*() macros just 10 days ago and yesterday this trap
caught me with the %c{x} bug.
The names are misleading cause we all expect that the from field is limited by
the size argument, but we actually limit the overall size of the destination
string to prevent a overflow.
Here we rename all strn*() macros to str*max(). That should be
more self-explanatory.

Here is a small improvement, which looks much better.
Hey Pat, thanks a lot for finding the recent bug, hope this one will
not break it again :)

Here I try to cleanup our various multifield iteration over the strings.
Inspired by our nice list.h we now have a macro to iterate over the string
and process the parts of it:
It makes the code more readable and we don't change the string while we
process it like the former strsep() does.
Example:
foreach_strpart(dev->symlink, " ", pos, len) {
if (strncmp(&dev->symlink[pos], find_name, len) != 0)
continue;
...
}
For the callout part selector %c{2} we separate now not only by space but
also newline and return characters, cause some programs may give multiline
values back. A possible RESULT match must contain wildcards for these
characters.
Also a bug in the recent udevinfo symlink query feature is fixed.

Here is for now my last patch to the string handling for a rather
theorethical case, where the node is very very very long. :)
We have accordant to strfieldcat(to, from) now a strintcat(to, i) macro,
which appends the ascii representation of a integer to a string in a
safe way.
|
|
Mainly a cleanup of the earlier patches with a few missing pieces
and some cosmetical changes.
I've moved the udev_init_config() to very early init, otherwise we
don't get any logging for the processing of the input. What would I
do without gdb :)
Greg, it's the 7th patch in your box to apply. I will stop now and
wait for you :)
|
|
Here we truncate our input strings from the environment to our
defined limit. It's a bit theroretical but better check for it.
It cleans up some magic length definitions and removes the code
duplication in udev, udevtest and udevsend.
udevd needs to be killed after installation, cause the message size
is changed with this patch.
Should we do this with the 'make install', like we do with the '.udevdb'?
|
|
As promised, here is the next round. We provide in addition to the
already used macros:
strfieldcpy(to, from)
strfieldcat(to, from)
the corresponding friends, if the size of the target is not known and
must be provided by the caller:
strnfieldcpy(to, from, maxsize)
strnfieldcat(to, from, maxsize)
and switch nearly all possibly unsafe users of strcat(), strncat(),
strcpy() and strncpy() to these safer macros.
The last known remaining issue seems the use of sprintf() and
snprintf(). I will take on it later today or tomorrow.

Hmm, bk didn't checked in one file, maybe I edited it again as root.
Nevermind, here is the more complete version.

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

...
If needed, we can make the number of partions to create
adjustable with the attribute?
|
|
Shouldn't we keep the temporary strings out of the database,
or is this information useful for something?
It cuts the length of the data from 628 to 275 bytes.
|

Also fix up some other dependancy issues in the Makefile.
Thanks to Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de> for pointing them out.

Also introduce boolean type for config file to use.
|

Once again, patch to make logging a config option.
Reason for this (since you asked for it):
- In our setup it is easy (although still annoying) .. just edit the
ebuild, add logging support (or remove it) and rebuild. For say a
binary distro, having the logging is useful for debugging some
times, but its more a once of, or rare thing, as you do not add or
change config files every day. Sure, we can have logging by
default, but many do not want ~300 lines of extra debugging in their
logs is not pleasant, and they will complain. Rebuilding the
package for that binary package (given the users it is targeted to)
is usually not within most users grasp.
