2007-03-18priority based symlink handlingKay Sievers
Symlinks can have priorities now, the priority is assigned to the device and specified with OPTIONS="link_priority=100". Devices with higher priorities overwrite the symlinks of devices with lower priorities. If the device, that currently owns the link goes away, the symlink will be removed, and recreated, pointing to the next device with the highest actual priority. This should solve the issue, that inserting an USB-stick may overwrite the /dev/disk/by-id/-link of another disk, and removes the entire link after the USB-stick is disconnected. If no priorities are specified, the new link will overwrite the current one, and if the device goes away, it will restore the old link. It should be possible to assign lower priorities to removable devices, if needed. In multipath setups, we see several devices, which all connect to the same volume, and therefore all try to create the same metadata-links. The different path-devices are combined into one device-mapper device, which also contains the same metadata. It should be possible, to assign multipath-table device-mapper devices a higher priority, so path-devices that appear and disappear, will not overwrite or delete the device-mapper device links.

2006-08-19consistent key naming to match only the event device or include all parent ↵Kay Sievers
devices This scheme is more consistent and makes it obvious if a match happens against the event device only, or the full chain of parent devices. The old key names are now: BUS -> SUBSYSTEMS ID -> KERNELS SYSFS -> ATTRS DRIVER -> DRIVERS Match keys for the event device: KERNEL SUBSYSTEM ATTR DRIVER (in a future release, for now the same as DRIVERS) Match keys for all devices along the parent device chain: KERNELS SUBSYSTEMS ATTRS DRIVERS ID, BUS, SYSFS are no longer mentioned in the man page but still work. DRIVER must be converted to DRIVERS to match the new scheme. For now, an error is logged, if DRIVER is used. In a future release, the DRIVER key behaviour will change.

2006-07-21use "change" instead of "online" eventsKay Sievers
The kernel driver may send "change" to signify a device state change and udev can possibly recreate symlinks.
2006-07-03netif rename: optimistic loop for the name to become freeKay Sievers
Parts from Ubuntu's 70-ifrename.patch.
2006-06-14allow "online" events to create/update symlinksKay Sievers
2006-06-14don't remove symlinks if they are already thereKay Sievers
Consecutive "add" events will not remove and recreate the same symlinks anymore. No longer valid links, like after changing a filesystem label, will still be removed.
2006-04-28don't include stropts.h, some libc's don't like itKay Sievers
2006-04-12remove old symlinks before creating current onesKay Sievers
This will prevent incorrect symlinks when a filesystem label is changed and the event is triggered again from sysfs.

2006-01-09replace libsysfsKay Sievers
We never used any of the libsysfs convenience features. Here we replace it completely with 300 lines of code, which are much simpler and a bit faster cause udev(d) does not open any syfs file for a simple event which does not need any parent device information.

2005-11-12remove all built-in wait_for_sysfs logicKay Sievers
Most of the issues are fixed with the kernel we depend on, for the remaing ones see the RELEASE-NOTES for a special rule to add. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de>
