We do not need to get notified about created files, only about moved
ones or files closed-after-writing.

It handles only RUN but not IMPORT and PROGRAM. There is no sane way
to suppress program execution. Most important programs run with IMPORT
these days. Also events can no longer suppressed with the libudev
netlink messages, so UDEV_RUN does nothing useful and is just
inconsistent.

There is no way to ignore an event these days. Libudev events can
not be suppressed. It only prevents RUN keys from being executed,
which results in an inconsistent behavior in current setups.

External programs triggered by events (via RUN=) will inherit udev's
signal mask, which is set to block all but SIGALRM. For most utilities,
this is OK, but if we start daemons from RUN=, we run into trouble
(especially as SIGCHLD is blocked).
This change saves the original sigmask when udev starts, and restores it
just before we exec() the external command.

The compat code will go away some day and CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
kernels fail in too many setups now to be worth to support them.

It did not work for the last couple of releases.
If RUN{record_failed}+="..." is given, a non-zero execution will mark
the event as failed. Recorded failed events can be re-triggered with:
udevadm trigger --type=failed
The failed tracking _might_ be useful for things which might not be
ready to be executed at early bootup, but a bit later when the needed
dependencies are available. In many cases though, it indicates that
something is used in a way it should not.

We may need to handle SIGCHLD before the queued worker message. The last
reference, from the SIGCHLD or the worker message will clean up the worker
context. In case we receive an unexpected SIGCHLD with an error, we let
the event fail and clean up the worker context.

Persistent network rules write out new rules files. When rules change,
we need to kill all workers to update the in-memory copy of the rules.
We need to make sure, that a worker finshes its work for all device
messages it has accepted, before it exits after a SIGTERM from the main
process.

Event processes now get re-used after they handled an event. This reduces
pressure on the CPU significantly because cloned event processes no longer
cause page faults in the main daemon. After the events have settled, the
no longer needed worker processes get killed.

Directory lookups show up in profiling. The queue files are responsible
for a large proportion of file-related system calls in udev coldplug.
Instead of creating a file for each event, append their details to a
log file. The file is periodically rebuilt (garbage-collected) to
prevent it from growing indefinitely.
This single queue file replaces both the queue directory and the
uevent_seqnum file. On desktop systems the file tends not to grow
beyond one page. So it should also save a small amount of memory in
tmpfs.
Tests on a running EeePC indicate average savings of 5% *udevd* cpu time
as measured by oprofile. __link_path_walk is reduced from 1.5% to
1.3%. It is not completely clear where the rest of the gains come from.
In tests running ~400 events, the queue file is rebuilt about 5 times.

Instead of of our own private monitor socket, we send the
processed event back to our netlink socket, to the multicast
group 2 -- so any number of users can listen to udev events,
just like they can listen to kernel emitted events on group 1.

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.

Also return a udev_device when looking up by handle as well, so
everything works the same way.
|
|
Move some of the checks into udev_watch_begin() and udev_watch_clear()
so we don't have to repeat them all the time.
|
|
Likewise when re-processing an event, we want to drop the existing
inotify watch first to avoid side-effects.
|
|
The programs we RUN can open device nodes, and thus we can end up
chasing our own tail.
|
|
|
|
This allows you to re-process the rules if the content of the device
has been changed, most useful for block subsystem to cause vol_id to
be run again.
