Hmm, bk didn't checked in one file, maybe I edited it again as root.
Nevermind, here is the more complete version.
[PATCH] udev - allow all files in a directory as the config
I was on the train for 5 hours today and the TODO is almost empty :)
So, at least four people wanted this feature, then here is a actual
working patch.
We may specify now in udev.conf:
udev_rules="/etc/udev/"
and udev will scan the whole directory for files ending with *.rules,
sort it in lexical order and create our rule list from all of the files.
A plain given file will still work and the same applies to the *.permissions.
I sort the files in our usual linked list, cause klibc has no scandir().
[PATCH] udev - create all partitions of blockdevice
Here is the first try to create all partitons of a blockdevice, since
removable media devices may need to acces the expected partition to
revalidate the media.
It uses the attribute syntax introduced with the last %s{file} patch.
I'm using this with my multi-slot-flash-card-reader:

Better patch with infrastructure to easily implement KEY{attribute}
for every other key. The first user is the SYSFS{file} key.
Both versions, brackets or underscore is supported for the attribute.
[PATCH] Adding '%s' format specifier to NAME and SYMLINK

I took a part of the code and made a version that uses already implemented
attribute finding logic.
The parsing of the format length '%3x' and the '%x{attribute}' is a fuction now,
maybe there are more possible users in the future.
incremental to udev-016/extras/multipath-0.0.16.3,
* add a GROUP_BY_SERIAL flag. This should be useful for
controlers that activate their spare paths on simple IO
submition with a penalty. The StorageWorks HW defaults to
this mode, even if the MULTIBUS mode is OK.
* remove unused sg_err.c
* big restructuring : split devinfo.c from main.c. Export :
* void basename (char *, char *);
* int get_serial (int, char *);
* int get_lun_strings (char *, char *, char *, char *);
* int get_evpd_wwid(char *, char *);
* long get_disk_size (char *);
Now we see clearly what is expected from an external package
like scsi_id.

ok I coded the suggested tool.
it works with the following rule :
KERNEL="dm-[0-9]*", PROGRAM="/sbin/devmap_name %M %m", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="%c"
I don't know if it's right to keep this tools packaged with multipath because
it's widely more general.
Maybe Joe should merge it in the device-mapper package or provide the
functionnality through dmsetup ?
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.

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.

Once again, patch to make logging a config option.
Reason for this (since you asked for it):
- In our setup it is easy (although still annoying) .. just edit the
ebuild, add logging support (or remove it) and rebuild. For say a
binary distro, having the logging is useful for debugging some
times, but its more a once of, or rare thing, as you do not add or
change config files every day. Sure, we can have logging by
default, but many do not want ~300 lines of extra debugging in their
logs is not pleasant, and they will complain. Rebuilding the
package for that binary package (given the users it is targeted to)
is usually not within most users grasp.

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.

The first patch is to be applied.
The second is conditioned by udev dealing correctly with devmap names.
For this I can suggest a CALLOUT rule like this :
KERNEL=3D"dm-[0-9]*", PROGRAM=3D"/tmp/name_devmap %M %m", NAME=3D"%k", SY=
MLINK=3D"%c"
With name_devmap like :
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/dmsetup ls|/bin/grep "$1, $2"|/usr/bin/awk '{print $1}'
[PATCH] udevd - switch socket path to abstract namespace
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.
this patch corrects ide devices with number greater than 9 being linked
into wrong discs/discX directories (my hda10 device was in discs/disc1
directory)
it adds % into pattern for $DRIVE, so for example, hda10 is not eaten
to hda1, but to hda, and break in for cycle works for it
