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.
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've edited the man page today, so this is alreay included :)
Also a few more trivials:
o added the defaults to udev.conf.in
o removed class_dev from get_default_mode(), to match with Hanna's
o changed size of mode_str to MODE_SIZE
o changed a few char compares from from 0x00 to '\0'
This patch fixes a bug where the udev database stored empty strings
for Owner and Group if they were default. This patch stores the default
value into the database if not set otherwise. See example output:
crw------- 1 root root 4, 65 Jan 16 11:13 ttyS1
P: /class/tty/ttyS1
N: ttyS1
S:
O: root
G: root
This is a bit of a hack. However, until udev supports setting the
o/g values they will be root/root anyway so the database might as
well reflect the truth instead of empty strings.

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

Here is a slightly better version of the patch.
After a conversation with Patrick, we are now able to execute the PROGRAM
and also match in all following rules with the RESULT value from this exec.
EXAMPLE:
We have 7 rules with RESULT and 2 with PROGRAM.
Only the 5th rule matches with the callout result from the exec in the 4th rule.
RULES:
PROGRAM="/bin/echo abc", RESULT="no_match", NAME="web-no-2"
KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-no-3"
KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-no-4"
PROGRAM="/bin/echo 123", RESULT="no_match", NAME="web-no-5"
KERNEL="video*", RESULT="123", NAME="web-yes"
RESULT:
Jan 11 23:36:52 pim udev[26050]: namedev_name_device: process rule

Attached is a patch that introduces the format char 'k' to be replaced with
the kernel name. I like to have it in a callout script.
I've moved the build_kernel_name() back to namedev_name_device() since
we don't expect it growing cause of 'sdaj' :)
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.

Here is a new version with relative link target path optimization
an better tests in udev-test.pl:
LABEL, BUS="scsi", vendor="IBM-ESXS", NAME="1/2/a/b/node", SYMLINK="1/2/c/d/symlink"
Dec 7 06:48:34 pim udev[13789]: create_node: symlink 'udev-root/1/2/c/d/symlink' to node '1/2/a/b/node' requested
Dec 7 06:48:34 pim udev[13789]: create_path: created 'udev-root/1/2/c'
Dec 7 06:48:34 pim udev[13789]: create_path: created 'udev-root/1/2/c/d'
Dec 7 06:48:34 pim udev[13789]: create_node: symlink(../../a/b/node, udev-root/1/2/c/d/symlink)
the older udev.config file is now called udev.rules.
This allows us to better control configuration values, and move away from
the environment variables.

No, don't include kernel headers directly if you can avoid it.
The problem you are referring to seems to be with old tool chains,
I have the same symptom with my s390 gcc-2.95/glibc-2.1.3.
Including <sys/param.h> instead of <limits.h> seems to fix it.
After getting a number of different crashes for udev reading broken
udev.config files, I decided to try to make the parser a little
more robust.
The behaviour is changed to stop reading the configuration file
and logging the broken entry instead of silently ignoring it (is
that good? It's easy to just print and continue).
All strcpy()'s to a fixed length string are now implicitly limited
to the bounds of the target string.
I kept the -ENODEV return code for now, not sure if there should be
different ones.
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.
This patch adds a callout config type to udev, so external programs can be
called to get serial numbers or id's that are not available as a sysfs
attribute.
