[PATCH] cleanup netif handling and netif-dev.d/ events
Here we supress the dev.d/ execution if we didn't change a network
interface's name with a rule. This should solve the issue of two
running dhclients for the same interface, cause the
/etc/dev.d/net/hotplug.dev script that fakes the hotplug event runs
with every udevstart for every interface and fakes a second identical
hotplug event on bootup.
With this patch netif interfaces are no longer stored in the udevdb.
It is not needed, cause we don't have permissions or symlinks :) and
all information is available in sysfs.
This patch also moves the dev_d execution calls out of the
udev_add/udev_remove. As with the former api-cleanup-patch we have
all processed data in one udev struct and can place the execution
calls where needed.
Here is the first patch to cleanup the internal processing of the
various stages of an udev event. It should not change any behavior,
but if your system depends on udev, please always test it before reboot :)
We pass only one generic structure around between add, remove,
namedev, db and dev_d handling and make all relevant data available
to all internal stages. All udev structures are renamed to "udev".
We replace the fake parameter by a flag in the udev structure.
We open the class device in the main binaries and not in udev_add, to
make it possible to use libsysfs for udevstart directory crawling.

Yeah, the ppp-class is missing, we only covered the net ppp-devices.

Nice to hear that we covered all the vc errors now. I think we should
apply the same logic to the /devices device wait loops, as they may go
with a remove event too.
[PATCH] remove sleeps from udev as it is external now
Here we remove all the sysfs sleep loops from udev as wait_for_sysfs
will do this for us and any other hotplug user. We still keep a small
blacklist of subsystems we don't care about but any missing entry here
will no longer lead to a spinning udev waiting for files.
Hey, we got consistent source filenames today. Let's go ahead :)
I once started this ambitiuos curses gui to edit udev rules files.
udevruler still lays dead around in the tree. I will not finish it
and it is not really useful at his state. If nobody wants to do
something for it, I'm for deleting it.

Correct, I have a new patch that trims after the comparison, so it
should work in both cases.
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.
[PATCH] prevent deadlocks on an corrupt udev database
Here is the patch, that should prevent all of the known deadlocks with
corrupt tdb databases we discovered.
Thanks to Frank Steiner <fsteiner-mail@bio.ifi.lmu.de>, who tested all this
endlessly with a NFS mounted /dev. The conclusion is, that udev will not work
on filesystems without proper record locking, but we should prevent the
endless loops anyway. This patch implements:
o recovery from a corrupted udev database. udev will continue
without database support now, instead of doing nothing. So the node should
be generated in any case, remove will obviously not work for custom names.
o added iteration limits to the tdb-code at the places we discovered endless
loops. In the case tdb tries to find more than 100.000 entries with the
same hash, we better give up :)
o prevent a {all_partitions} loop caused by corrupt db data
o log all tdb errors to syslog
o switch sleep() to usleep() cause we want to use alarm()
Here is an update to wait_for_sysfs to print the udev version to syslog,
let hardware net interfaces wait again for the device link and
revert the video4linux to wait for the device. The error here was caused
by a out-of-tree media-driver, that needs the fix, not the our program.
I've added a small comment for that to the log as I expect more of this
to show up and the recent desktop integration work depends heavily on proper
sysfs support, so the drivers should be fixed.
Here is the correction for the dev.d/ scripts too. We should pass
the right argv[0] here too. A script may depend on the right value, as
udev does with udev/udevstart.
Here is the old version:
[pid 4692] execve("/etc/dev.d/default/log.dev", ["./udev", "block"], [/* 41 vars */]) = 0
this the new one:
[pid 9832] execve("/etc/dev.d/default/log.dev", ["/etc/dev.d/default/log.dev", "block"], [/* 41 vars */]) = 0
when udevstart was running we didn't set the environment and the
subsystem argument for the callouts the dev.d/ scripts.
Here is a fix, that sets that with every udevstart iteration, corrects
argv[0] to be the basename() only not the whole path and adds a test
for invoking callouts without arguments.
[PATCH] respect prefix= setting in built udev.conf (updated)
Here is a revised version of the patch. Again, it modifies the Makefile
to respect the prefix= setting when putting paths to
/etc/udev/{rules.s,permissions.d} into the built /etc/udev/udev.conf
file. It also changes the Makefile to create this file at "make" time,
not "make install" time. This allows for udevdir to be specified at
"make" time (thus putting the correct path into udev.conf), but not
specified at "make install" time (thus allowing the installation to
proceed without trying to use the wrong directory).

New version with more devices excluded from /device-link saerch and
a better maching for device names.
We define BLKGETSIZE64 in udev-volume_id.c now, cause including <fs.h>
does also not work with klibc. This hopefully fixes your compile problem
too.
Also included is an update to udev_volume_id with the latest fixes for
volume_id. It adds a simple logging file to map the debug function, that
we can use exactly the same files in HAL and udev.

Here are the tests for the enumeration character %e. I've added a option
string to be able to do a whole sequence of tests without node removal,
so we can skip the "remove" event and get an increasing number to append
to the name. After the sequence test the whole directory is cleaned for
the next tests.

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. It only happens if the file ends with
whitespace-only lines. Here is a fix and a test for udev-test.pl to
cover that case.

Yes, I can simulate this, please try the attached patch. I expect, that
it fixes it, cause we better not mangle the parsed config while matching
the rules.

How about something like this. It adds all the net devices without
looking at the attributes and keeps the remaining logic like it is.
It also removes certain levels of indirection and much simplifies the
udevstart process. We surely don't need to open and close the udevdb
for every node while iterating over the list. (We are about 5% faster on
my box)
It's not well tested, so it would be nice if someone can have a look
at it, before a broken udevstart renders any system unbootable.
