We can not predict the major/minor of non-existing devices:
$ grep . /sys/class/block/sd*/dev
/sys/class/block/sda1/dev:259:524288
/sys/class/block/sda2/dev:259:262144
/sys/class/block/sda3/dev:259:786432
/sys/class/block/sda4/dev:259:131072
/sys/class/block/sda/dev:259:0
/sys/class/block/sdb/dev:259:655360
/sys/class/block/sdc/dev:259:393216
If this functionality is still needed for some broken hardware, it needs to be
solved with a tool not part of the udev package. Because such option is unreliable
and unsafe to use.

A common use (e.g. in Ubuntu) for udevadm monitor is to log the events
received by udev during boot; events can be lost of the buffer size isn't
increased as udevd does.

We do no longer delete the primary device node while handling "remove"
events if the same kernel device is already re-created in the meantime.
This prevents the asynchronously running udev from removing and re-creating
primary device nodes for active devices.

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.

Explain command/argument separation rules, search path, and quoting for RUN and
IMPORT.

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.

link_find_prioritized(): Properly close directory handles to fix a major fd
leak which caused hotplugging to fail entirely in many cases due to having too
many open files.

Its use breaks too many things which expect to be run from independent
later rules, and is an idication that something needs to be fixed
properly instead.

Dangling symlinks in path components return -ENOENT. Do not retry
to create the file in a loop in such case.

It is needed to prevent errors in udev from going unnoticed (e.g.
when udevd is not running).

With well defined and kernel-supplied node names, we no longer need
to support a possible stack of conflicting symlinks and node names.
Only symlinks with identical names can be claimed by multiple devices.
This shrinks the former /dev/.udev/names/ significantly.
Also the /dev/{block,char}/MAJ:MIN" links are excluded from the name
stack - they are unique and can not conflict.

Thanks to Lennart for the log file!

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.
