2009-05-04handle devtmpfs nodesKay Sievers
UDev follows the kernel given name, and re-uses the kernel created device node. If the kernel and spcecified udev rules disagree, the udev specified node node is created and the kernel-created on is deleted.

2009-04-22libudev: monitor - add client socket filter for subsystem valueKay Sievers
Messages send back by the udev daemon to the netlink socket are multiplexed by the kernel and delivered to multiple clients. The clients can upload a socket filter to let the kernel drop messages not belonging to a certain subsystem. This prevent needless wakeups and message processing for users who are only interested in a subset of available events. Recent kernels allow untrusted users to listen to the netlink messages. The messages send by the udev daemon are versioned, to prevent any custom software reading them without libudev. The message wire format may change with any udev version update.
2009-04-06avoid leaking netlink socket fd to external programsAlan Jenkins
The netlink socket is now used by udev event processes. We should take care not to pass it to the programs they execute. This is the same way the inotify fd was handled. Signed-off-by: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk>

2009-03-12udevadm: settle - synchronise with the udev daemonScott James Remnant
There's still a slight race condition when using udevadm settle, if the udev daemon has a pending inotify event but hasn't yet generated the "change" uevent for it, the kernel and udev sequence numbers will match and settle will exit. Now udevadm settle will send a control message to udevd, which will respond by sending SIGUSR1 back to the waiting udevadm settle once it has completed the main loop iteration in which it received the control message. If there were no pending inotify events, this will simply wake up the udev daemon and allow settle to continue. If there are pending inotify events, they are handled first in the main loop so when settle is continued they will have been turned into uevents and the kernel sequence number will have been incremented. Since the inotify event is pending for udevd when the close() system call returns (it's queued as part of the kernel handling for that system call), and since the kernel sequence number is incremented by writing to the uevent file (as udevd does), this solves the race. When the settle continues, if there were pending inotify events that udevd had not read, they are now pending uevents which settle can wait for. Signed-off-by: Scott James Remnant <scott@ubuntu.com>
