Define an inititialization phase, where we delay the events only
for a short time to eventually recollect the event sequence instead
of delaying the very first events for 10 seconds, which breaks the
firmware loader.
|
|
If we take over the hotplug call and manage the events we don't need
to call the event fake script in dev.d/. Just set all expected values
to the new network interface name and call hotplug.d/. This way the
device renaming is completely handled inside of udev and userspace
can't get confused.
|

Currently udevd delays only events for the same DEVPATH.
Example of an "add" event sequence:
/block/sda
/block/sda/sda1
With this change, we make sure, that the udev process handling
/block/sda has finished its work (waited for all attributes,
created the node) before we fork the udev event for /block/sda/sda1.
This way the event for sda1 can be sure, that the node for the
main device is already created (may be useful for disk labels).
It will not affect any parallel device handling, only the sequence
of the devices directory chain is serialized. The 10.000 disks
plugged in will still run as parallel events. :)
The main motivation to do this is the program execution of the
dev.d/ and hotplug.d/ directory. If we don't wait for the parent
event to exit, we can't be sure that the executed scripts are
run in the right order.

Accept event without a subsystem and pass it through udevd.
Pass empty environment while starting udevd.
|
|
|
|
This will prevent a loop, if udev sends events back into the
daemon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just move the event straight to the exec list and don't try
to compare a NULL pointer.
|
|
|
|
Make _all_ hotplug variables available to the forked udev,
the udev callouts and the udev dev.d/ scripts. We put the
whole environment into a buffer and send it over the udevd
socket. udevd recreates *envp[] and passes it to the exec().
|
|

Change to the same timeout loop we use in the rest of the code. Change
some comments and names to be more descriptive.
I'm mostly finished with the overall cleanup. I will post a new patch
for the udevd-nofork experiment, which will be much smaller now.

Seems that we never closed the opened syslog.
Here is a patch to do this in all our binaries.
|
|
This patch fixes the reintroduced bug with the
sig_handler(), if we link against a -mregparm=3 compiled
klibc on i386.
It also fixes some compiler warnings about redefined
asmlinkage on some systems.
Also some (broken?) compilers on distros throw out warnings
if asmlinkage is before "static void". This fixes it, too.
|
|
This patch fixes two
warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
asmlinkage is the reason for the warning. We can
simply cast to avoid it.
It also fixes this warning:
warning: implicit declaration of function `umask'

selinux wants a clean fd set, so better close all open fds

The kernel will use a u64 for the sequence number, so we want the same.
|
|
here we change udevd to pass the SEQNUM from the hotplug environment
to udev and the dev.d/ scripts. We need this for HAL to match the
hotplug event with the dev.d/ events.
It also changes the type from int to long to match the kernel.
|
|
The following patch adds 'asmlinkage' defines to udev, to kill off 2
warnings on !i386.

The recent version of klibc switched to -mregparm=3. This broke the
signal handlers parameter, cause it is called directly from the kernel
with the parameter on the stack not in a register.
|
|
Our own implementation of the sysinfo system call is no longer
needed, cause it's merged it into klibc now.
|
|
Thanks to Yin, Hu <hu.yin@intel.com>, who made a nice perl script to test the
expected behavior of the udevd sequence number handling. The test sends
different SEQNUM sequences to udevd, while analyzing the reordering and timeout
handling of udevd.
|
|
Here we switch the msg_dump() to #define instead of commenting it out.
|
|
|
|
Here we change the DEVPATH for netdev's in the environment of the dev.d/
scripts to the name the device is renamed to. The original name doesn't
exist in the kernel after rename.
|
|
here is a patch on top of your nice improvements.
I fixed the whitespace and it hopefully fixes the stupid timestamp bug in
udevd. Some stupid OS sets the hwclock to localtime and linux changes it
to UTC while starting. If any events are pending they may be delayed by
the users time distance from UTC :) So we use the uptime seconds now.

This patch covers a number of areas:
1) sysfs.h is fixed up to use the common dbg() macro. This fixes the
case where DEBUG is defined but USE_LOG isn't.
2) udevstart.c is modified to include the proper headers, rather than
getting them indirectly which can break depending on Makefile flags
3) udevd.c gets some major changes:
a) I added a pipe from the signal handler. This fixes the race
conditions that I mentioned earlier. Basically, the point of the pipe
is to force the select() call to return immediately if a signal handler
fired before we actually started the select() call. This then lets us
run the appropriate code based on flags set in the signal handler proper.
b) I added a number of flags to coalesce calls to common routines. This
should make things slightly more efficient.
c) since most calls will tend to come in with a sequence number larger
than what has been received, I switched msg_queue_insert() to scan the
msg_list backwards to improve performance.

Here is a unified version, with all the functions moved to udev_lib.c.
We have a generic function now, to call a given fnct(char *) for every
file ending with a specific suffix, sorted in lexical order. We use it
to execute the dev.d/ files and read our rules.d/ files. The binary
should be a bit smaller now.
I've also changed it, to not do the dev.d/ exec for net devices.
|
|
Here we replace the various fgets() with a mmap() call for the config
file reading, due to the reported performance problems with klibc.
Thanks to Patrick's testing, it makes a very small, close to nothing
speed gain for libc users, but a 6 times speed increase for klibc users
with a 1000 line config file.
I've created a udev_lib.[hc] for this and also moved all the generic
stuff from udev.h in there and uninlined the functions.
|
|
Here I try to make the style a bit more consistant in the different
files, so that new patches just copy the 'right' one :)
Some "magic" numbers are replaced and udevtest.c is catched up with udev.
|
|
Here we truncate our input strings from the environment to our
defined limit. It's a bit theroretical but better check for it.
It cleans up some magic length definitions and removes the code
duplication in udev, udevtest and udevsend.
udevd needs to be killed after installation, cause the message size
is changed with this patch.
Should we do this with the 'make install', like we do with the '.udevdb'?
|

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.
|
|
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.

Also introduce boolean type for config file to use.

I cleaned up the rest of the comments, the whitespace and a few names to match
the whole thing. Please recheck it. Test script is switched to work on subsystem
'test' to let udev ignore it.

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.
|
|
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)

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.

Same patch with a fix for the stack size setting.

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.
