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.

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.

That was a mistake. The variable is needed to be set before
we parse the file. Thanks a lot to Alan Jenkins for spotting
this.
This reverts commit 710fdac1e49276683abe927472fe1b336960edd8.

POSIX.1-2001 declares usleep() function obsolete and POSIX.1-2008
removes it.

- include time.h
- use const for timespec
- scsi_id: drop rand() in retry loop

With very deeply nested devices, We can not use a single file
name to carry an entire DEVPATH. Use <subsystem>:<sysname> as
the database filename, which should also simplify the handling
of devices moving around, as these values will not change but
still be unique.
For the name stack we use the <maj>:<min> now as the filename.

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.

Instead of using multiple recursive Makefile.am files, use a single
Makefile.am that sets and builds all the basic suite of libraries and
binaries for udev. This reduces the number of files in the source tree, and
also reduces drastically the build time when using parallel-make.
With this setup, all the compile steps will be executed in parallel, and
just the linking stage will be (partially) serialised on the libraries
creation.

If by-path / by-id links don't quite do what you want, this is a nice
clean way to extend the behaviour. Real example:
SYMLINK=="serial/by-id/usb-Novatel_Wireless_Inc*CDMA*-if00-port0", \\
SYMLINK+="cellcard"
Some users ask how to do things like this.
- create an additional link with a shorter name
- create a link which matches more loosely
(omit certain path segments e.g. serial numbers)
- change permissions on certain USB device nodes
Allow them to realize this without reading the friendly *.c files.

Dates aren't shown in the manpages. So they are not really useful,
and no-one is going to remember to update them.
"<refmiscinfo class="version"></refmiscinfo>" sounds even less useful.
I leave the unused "title" and "productname" tags. They could
theoretically be useful, and aren't hard to maintain. We just need to
fix the "title" for udevadm.

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.
