- clarify the use of the NAME{all_partitions} syntax
and add a example to udev.rules.example
- mention the empty NAME field to ignore the device
- prepare a SYMLINK field for the addition of Andrey's

[PATCH] udev - fix debug info for multiple rule file config

The copy/paste devil catched me :)
Here is a fixed one.
We carried the the old callout part selector syntax for two releases
now after it was replaced by the new %c{1} syntax. So here we remove
the old syntax and use the code to possibly specify the maximum count
of chars to insert into the string. It will work with all of our format
chars.
I don't know if somebody will use it, but the code is already there :)
's%3s{vendor}' returns "IBM" now, instead of "IBM-ESXS".
Also added is a test for it and a few words in the man page.
Here is for now my last patch to the string handling for a rather
theorethical case, where the node is very very very long. :)
We have accordant to strfieldcat(to, from) now a strintcat(to, i) macro,
which appends the ascii representation of a integer to a string in a
safe way.

Seems that nobody cares and perhaps the recent klibc permission changes
and the multiple file config directory are enough to kill these lines? :)
Mainly a cleanup of the earlier patches with a few missing pieces
and some cosmetical changes.
I've moved the udev_init_config() to very early init, otherwise we
don't get any logging for the processing of the input. What would I
do without gdb :)
Greg, it's the 7th patch in your box to apply. I will stop now and
wait for you :)
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'?

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.

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.
