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.
The last sleep parameters are removed.

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()

NAME_SIZE is too small for some configurations. This patch allows more
or longer names, it just keeps the stack in a sane state.

Here is a patch to change the netdev handling in the database and for
the dev.d/ calls. I applies on top of the udevd.patch, cause klibc has
no sysinfo().
o netdev's are also put into our database now. I want this for the
udevruler gui to get a list of all handled devices.
All devices in the db are stamped with the system uptime value at
the creation time. 'udevinfo -d' prints it.
o the DEVPATH value is the key for udevdb, but if we rename
a netdev, the name is replaced in the kernel, so we add
the changed name to the db to match with the remove event.
NOTE: The dev.d/ scripts still get the original name from the
hotplug call. Should we replace DEVPATH with the new name too?
o We now only add a device to the db, if we have successfully created
the main node or successfully renamed a netdev. This is the main part
of the patch, cause I needed to clean the retval passing trough all
the functions used for node creation.
o DEVNODE sounds a bit ugly for netdev's so I exported DEVNAME too.
Can we change the name?
o I've added a UDEV_NO_DEVD to possibly skip the script execution
and used it in udev-test.pl.
udevstart is the same horror now, if you have scripts with logging
statements in dev.d/ it takes minutes to finish, can we skip the
scripts here too?
o The get_device_type() function is changed to be more strict, cause
'udevinfo -a -p /block/' gets a class device for it and tries to
print the major/minor values.
o bugfix, the RESULT value has now a working newline removal and a test
for this case.

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.

Hey, I wrote the strn*() macros just 10 days ago and yesterday this trap
caught me with the %c{x} bug.
The names are misleading cause we all expect that the from field is limited by
the size argument, but we actually limit the overall size of the destination
string to prevent a overflow.
Here we rename all strn*() macros to str*max(). That should be
more self-explanatory.

Here is a small improvement, which looks much better.
Hey Pat, thanks a lot for finding the recent bug, hope this one will
not break it again :)

Here I try to cleanup our various multifield iteration over the strings.
Inspired by our nice list.h we now have a macro to iterate over the string
and process the parts of it:
It makes the code more readable and we don't change the string while we
process it like the former strsep() does.
Example:
foreach_strpart(dev->symlink, " ", pos, len) {
if (strncmp(&dev->symlink[pos], find_name, len) != 0)
continue;
...
}
For the callout part selector %c{2} we separate now not only by space but
also newline and return characters, cause some programs may give multiline
values back. A possible RESULT match must contain wildcards for these
characters.
Also a bug in the recent udevinfo symlink query feature is fixed.

Thanks to Olaf Hering <olh@suse.de> for this patch. It's possible now to
feed the -n option of udevinfo with a symlink.
I've also added a 'all' attribute, but no more text, it's all in the
included man page :)

Hmm, bk didn't checked in one file, maybe I edited it again as root.
Nevermind, here is the more complete version.

external one.
Should fix some more build bugs...
|
|
Use the new location of libsysfs header files.
|
|
Shouldn't we keep the temporary strings out of the database,
or is this information useful for something?
It cuts the length of the data from 628 to 275 bytes.
|
|
Here we get the ability to query with the name of the node instead of
the device path. It uses a linear search over the whole database.
kay@pim:~/src/udev.kay$ ./udev -q path -n video/webcam0
/class/video4linux/video0
New version, with better function return codes for error handling.

Here is a slightly better version. I've created a logging.h file and
moved the debug macros from udev.h in there.
If you type:
'make' - you will get a binary that prints one or two lines to syslog
if a device node is created or deleted
'make LOG=false' - you get a binary that prints asolutely nothing
'make DEBUG=true' - the same as today, it will print all debug lines

As usual, here is the corresponding man page update and
a small text correction.

Here is a slightly better version that prints the usage if a unknown option is given:
kay@pim:~/src/udev.kay$ ./udev -x
./udev: invalid option -- x
Usage: [-qrVh]
-q arg query database
-r print udev root
-V print udev version
-h print this help text

I've moved the malloc out of the udevdb into udev-remove to free the
struct after use and not to allocate a different struct in the case the
device is not in the data base. I seems a bit easier to read.

01-overall-whitespace+debug-text-conditioning.diff
o cleanup whitespace
o clarify a few comments
o enclose all printed debug string values in ''

config variables
This will make running tests a lot simpler.

Now we standardise on a struct udevice to pass around, and store in the
database. This cleaned up the database code a lot.
|
|
Also delete the record after the device is gone, and fix up a memory leak.
|
|
Unix file modes should be stored in a mode_t, not a standard type. At
the moment it is actually unsigned, in fact, not a signed integer.
Attached patch does an s/int mode/mode_t mode/ and cleans up the
results.
|
|
Yah yah, really trivial stuff...
- get_class_device() doesn't need to be exported; it
should be static
- white space cleanup
|
|
database code still needs some major cleanup.
|
|
|
|
Can be overridden on the makefile line.

This patch:
1) removes the three database files for just one udevdb.tdb file.
2) adds udevdb_init() and udevdb_exit() functions
3) initializes database now in main() in udev.c.
Please look it over.

Here's an "idea" of what I had in mind for udevdb. Let me preface the
code with a few remarks:
1) I was expecting to write this udevdb for udev to keep track of
devices. I was planning an external package that depends upon udev
to provide an external API to the udevdb database. The calls for the
interface would be read only access. Not sure how you want to do
packaging, if having a separate package is ok or having it included
in udev.
2) I created it as it is because udev isn't a daemon. So, the open
database call doesn't take any parameters. My plan was to create a
udevdb_init function that took arguments for initializing the db
to start, where you could specify in memory only or a file location.
This can all be filled in.
3) I hacked the Makefile to get it to work. Not sure how you'd want
that in the future.
4) This assumes TDB has been installed elsewhere, you would need to
edit your Makefile and point it to the header and library locations.
How do you want to do TDB in udev? Do you want to just reference it
and make udev dependent on that package being installed. Or should
we do what samba does and include a limited tdb version in udev?
5) Again, I hacked udev into your existing code. In the future, I'd
probably make a function around the filling out the udevice before
calling the store command. Didn't know if you wanted to change
your add device function to use struct udevice rather than having
everything separate.
6) Not sure what we should include in the udevice structure that's stored
by udev. I made a stab at a first shot - we can add and remove of course,
this was a first pass. I've come to realize - with you including libsysfs
in udev, the "external" interface that references udevdb could make
use of getting information from through libsysfs from sysfs and doesn't
need to be in udevdb.
7) I could write a namedevdb for namedev's device management if you
wanted.
