2005-04-26[PATCH] more logging.h cleanups to be a bit more flexible.greg@kroah.com
2005-04-26[PATCH] better credential patchkay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here is a small improvement. We check for the type of message we receive and udevsend seems not to need all the credential setup stuff, the kernel will fill it for us. udevd now refuses to start as non root, cause it doesn't make any sense.
2005-04-26[PATCH] udevd - client access authorizationkay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here is the badly needed client authorization for udevd. Since we switched to abstract namespace sockets, we are unable to control the access of the socket by file permissions. So here we send a ancillary credential message with every datagram, to be able to verify the uid of the sender. The sender can't fake the credentials, cause the kernel doesn't allow it for non root users. udevd is still working with klibc here :)

So here is the next try :) hpa, for good reason, didn't like my changes to klibc. He will dump signal() completely from klibc instead, so here we switch to sigaction() and keep udevd working with klibc.
2005-04-26[PATCH] fix log option code so that it actually works for all udev programs.greg@kroah.com
Also introduce boolean type for config file to use.

Please recheck it. Test script is switched to work on subsystem 'test' to let udev ignore it.

2005-04-26[PATCH] udevd - fix socket path lengthkay.sievers@vrfy.org
It seems that the guys are no longer differ about the right size of the socket address :) The kernel simply takes all bytes until the specified length as the name, so the real length should be enough.
2005-04-26[PATCH] udevd - switch socket path to abstract namespacekay.sievers@vrfy.org
As Chris Friesen <chris_friesen@sympatico.ca> suggested, here we switch the unix domains socket path to abstract namespace and get rid of the socket file in the filesystem. Hey, this was new to me today. So here a few words: Linux supports a abstract namespace for sockets. We don't need a physical file on the filesystem but only a unique string magically starting with the '\0' character. strace with real file: connect(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, path="/udev/.udevd.sock"}, 110) strace with abstract namespace: connect(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, path=@udevd}, 110)
2005-04-26[PATCH] udevd - allow to bypass sequence numberkay.sievers@vrfy.org
This patch allows udevsend to be called by the user and not only by the kernel with its SEQNUM. If no SEQNUM is given, we move the event straight to the exec queue and don't look if something is missing. I don't know if this is really needed, but some people seem trying to send events trough udevd instead of calling udev directly with their scripts and confuse the reorder logic with that. So at least, we may remove this source of confusion and udevsend is much much faster back than udev itself and it will also block concurrent events for the same devpath.
2005-04-26[PATCH] rework the logging code so that each program logs with the proper ↵greg@kroah.com

Next cleaned up version. Hey, nobody wants to try it :) Works for me, It's funny if I connect/disconnect my 4in1-usb-flash-reader every two seconds. The 2.6 usb rocks! I can connect/diconnect a hub with 3 devices plugged in every second and don't run into any problem but a _very_ big udevd queue.

2005-04-26[PATCH] udevd - next round of fixeskay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here is the next round. We have three queues now. All incoming messages are queued in msg_list and if nothing is missing we move it to the running_list and exec in the background. If the exec comes back, it removes the message from the running_list and frees the message. Before we exec, we check the running_list if there is a udev running on the same device path. If yes, we move the message to the delay_list. If the former exec comes back, we move the message to the running_list and exec it. The very first event is delayed now to catch possible earlier sequences, every following event is executed without delay if no sequence is missing. The daemon doesn't exit by itself any longer, cause we don't want to delay every first exec. I've put a $(PWD) for now in the Makefile for testing this beast. Only the local binaries are executed, not the /sbin/udev. We can change it if we are ready for real testing. And SIGKILL can't be cought, so I removed it from the handler :) 06:58:36 sig_handler: caught signal 15 06:58:36 main: using ipc queue 0x2d548 06:58:37 message is still in the ipc queue, starting

2005-04-26[PATCH] udevd - cleanup and better timeout handlingkay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here is the next revision for udevd: o Small cleanups all over the place. o Swich to the usual linked list format "list.h". o Better timeout handling. We store a timestamp in in every queued event, so we don't wait longer than the timeout specified, if the hole in the list is not shrinking. o ignore udevd target if klibc is used
2005-04-26[PATCH] make udevd only have one instance running at a timegreg@kroah.com
it used a file lock right now. need to put that lock in the udev directory, it's in the current directory, which isn't a good thing...
2005-04-26[PATCH] udev - next round of udev event order daemonkay.sievers@vrfy.org
Here is the next round of udevd/udevsend: udevsend - If the IPC message we send is not catched by a receiver we fork the udevd daemon to process this and the following events udevd - We reorder the events we receive and execute our current udev for every event. If one or more events are missing, we wait 10 seconds and then go ahead in the queue. If the queue is empty and we don't receive any event for the next 30 seconds, the daemon exits. The next incoming event will fork the daemon again. config - The path's to the executable are specified in udevd.h Now they are pointing to the current directory only. I don't like daemons hiding secrets (and mem leaks :)) inside, so I want to try this model. It should be enough logic to get all possible hotplug events executed in the right order. If no event, then no daemon! So everybody should be happy :) Here we see: 1. the daemon fork, 2. the udev work, 3. the 10 sec timeout and the skipped events, 4. the udev work, ..., 5. and the 30 sec timeout and exit.

Sorry, some code is missing. Here is a fix to make the exec functional.

Here is the next updated updated version to apply to the lastet udev. I've added infrastructure for getting the state of the IPC queue in the sender and set the program to exec by the daemon. Also the magic key id is replaced by the usual key generation by path/nr. It looks promising, I use it on my machine and my 4in1 USB-flash-reader connect/disconnect emits the events "randomly" but udevd is able to reorder it and calls our normal udev in the right order.
