2009-09-09simplify "symlink name stack"Kay Sievers1-7/+0
With well defined and kernel-supplied node names, we no longer need to support a possible stack of conflicting symlinks and node names. Only symlinks with identical names can be claimed by multiple devices. This shrinks the former /dev/.udev/names/ significantly. Also the /dev/{block,char}/MAJ:MIN" links are excluded from the name stack - they are unique and can not conflict.

With very deeply nested devices, We can not use a single file name to carry an entire DEVPATH. Use <subsystem>:<sysname> as the database filename, which should also simplify the handling of devices moving around, as these values will not change but still be unique. For the name stack we use the <maj>:<min> now as the filename. > On Tue, Aug 18, 2009 at 09:59:56AM -0400, Ric Wheeler wrote: > The first is that udev grumbles during boot about "file name too long" > like the following: > > Aug 17 06:49:58 megadeth udevd-event[20447]: unable to create db file > '/dev/.udev/db/\x2fdevices\x2fpci0000:00\x2f0000:00:04.0\x2f0000:17:00.0\x2f0000:18:0a.0\x2f0000:1f:00.0\x2fhost11\x2fport-11:0\x2fexpander-11:0\x2fport-11:0:0\x2fexpander-11:1\x2fport-11:1:0\x2fexpander-11:2\x2fport-11:2:17\x2fexpander-11:3\x2fport-11:3:1\x2fend_device-11:3:1\x2fbsg\x2fend_device-11:3:1': > File name too long

The compat code will go away some day and CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED kernels fail in too many setups now to be worth to support them.
2009-07-24hid2hci: rewrite (and break) rules and device handlingKay Sievers1-1/+2
We must never access random devices in /dev which do not belong to the event we are handling. Hard-coding /dev/hidrawX, and looping over all devices is absolutely not acceptable --> hook into hidraw events. We can not relay on (rather random) properties merged into the parent device by earlier rules --> use libudev to find the sibling device with a matching interface. Libusb does not fit into udev's use case. We never want want to scan and open() all usb devices in the system, just to find the device we are already handling the event for --> put all the stupid scanning into a single function and prepare for a fixed libusb or drop it later.
2009-06-28rules: make ata_id properties the default for all ATA block devicesKay Sievers1-1/+0
We need to call ata_id as the default for libata sd* devices. We want ID_BUS=ata, and the ATA device proeprties, and be independent of the SCSI emulation with the truncated values. The links in /dev/disk/by-id/{ata-*,scsi-*} are still the same.

Seems that nobody cares and perhaps the recent klibc permission changes and the multiple file config directory are enough to kill these lines? :)

2005-04-26[PATCH] D-BUS patch for udev-008david@fubar.dk1-1/+0
Attached is a patch against udev-008 to send out a D-BUS message when a device node is added or removed. Using D-BUS lingo, udev acquires the org.kernel.udev service and sends out a NodeCreated or NodeDeleted signal on the org.kernel.udev.NodeMonitor interface. Each signal carries two parameters: the node in question and the corresponding sysfs path. [Note: the D-BUS concepts of service, interface, object can be a bit confusing at first glance] An example program listening for these messages looks like this #!/usr/bin/python import dbus import gtk def udev_signal_received(dbus_iface, member, service, object_path, message): [filename, sysfs_path] = message.get_args_list() if member=='NodeCreated': print 'Node %s created for %s'%(filename, sysfs_path) elif member=='NodeDeleted': print 'Node %s deleted for %s'%(filename, sysfs_path) def main(): bus = dbus.Bus(dbus.Bus.TYPE_SYSTEM) bus.add_signal_receiver(udev_signal_received, 'org.kernel.udev.NodeMonitor', # interface 'org.kernel.udev', # service '/org/kernel/udev/NodeMonitor') # object gtk.mainloop() if __name__ == '__main__': main() and this is the output when hot-plugging some usb-storage. [david@laptop udev-008]$ ~/node_monitor.py Node /udev/sda created for /block/sda Node /udev/sda1 created for /block/sda/sda1 Node /udev/sda1 deleted for /block/sda/sda1 Node /udev/sda deleted for /block/sda The patch requires D-BUS 0.20 or later while the python example program requires D-BUS from CVS as I only recently applied a patch against the python bindings.
