Let's add a catalog entry explaining further details.
Most importantly though: talk to PID 1 directly, via the private D-Bus
socket, so that this actually works correctly during early boot, where
D-Bus is not around.
Prompted by the discussion on #16110, let's migrate more code to
fd_wait_for_event().
This only leaves 7 places where we call into poll()/poll() directly in
our entire codebase. (one of which is fd_wait_for_event() itself)
poll() sets POLLNVAL inside of the poll structures if an invalid fd is
passed. So far we generally didn't check for that, thus not taking
notice of the error. Given that this specific kind of error is generally
indication of a programming error, and given that our code is embedded
into our projects via NSS or because people link against our library,
let's explicitly check for this and convert it to EBADF.
(I ran into a busy loop because of this missing check when some of my
test code accidentally closed an fd it shouldn't close, so this is a
real thing)
Ideally, coccinelle would strip unnecessary braces too. But I do not see any
option in coccinelle for this, so instead, I edited the patch text using
search&replace to remove the braces. Unfortunately this is not fully automatic,
in particular it didn't deal well with if-else-if-else blocks and ifdefs, so
there is an increased likelikehood be some bugs in such spots.
I also removed part of the patch that coccinelle generated for udev, where we
returns -1 for failure. This should be fixed independently.
This effectively reverts 2bc54be485
and relevant changes in #9920, as it is used to determine the version
of udev, e.g., dracut.

For some reason they were missed previously. All those files seem to
have proper SDPX tags.
This adds missing options, mainly '--version' in getopt(), removes
an unused option from getopt().
Also, this adds a deprecate message in `udevadm hwdb`, and cleanups
help messages.
Follow-up for 65eb4378c3.
When running udevadm settle --timeout=0, the ping always times out, and
udevadm will return 0 without checking the queue state.
(David: Use a reasonable timeout to still get the barrier provided by
ctrl-ping)
udevadm manual says:
A value of 0 will check if the queue is empty and always return
immediately.
However, currently we ignore the deadline if the value is 0, and wait
without any limit.
Zero timeout behaved according to the documentation until commit
ead7c62ab7 (udevadm: settle - kill alarm()). Looking at this patch, it
seems that the behavior change was unintended.
This patch restores the documented behavior.
Commit 9ea28c55a2 (udev: remove seqnum API and all assumptions about
seqnums) introduced a regresion, ignoring the timeout option when
waiting until the event queue is empty.
Previously, if the udev event queue was not empty when the timeout was
expired, udevadm settle was returning with exit code 1. To check if the
queue is empty, you could invoke udevadm settle with timeout=0. This
patch restores the previous behavior.
(David: fixed timeout==0 handling and dropped redundant assignment)
This patch removes includes that are not used. The removals were found with
include-what-you-use which checks if any of the symbols from a header is
in use.
include-what-you-use automatically does this and it makes finding
unnecessary harder to spot. The only content of poll.h is a include
of sys/poll.h so should be harmless.
If the udev queue is empty and "/run/udev/queue" does not exist,
"udevadm settle" would return with EXIT_FAILURE, because the inotify on
"/run/udev/queue" would fail with ENOENT.
This patch lets "udevadm settle" exit with EXIT_SUCCESS in this case.
The way the kernel namespaces have been implemented breaks assumptions
udev made regarding uevent sequence numbers. Creating devices in a
namespace "steals" uevents and its sequence numbers from the host. It
confuses the "udevadmin settle" logic, which might block until util a
timeout is reached, even when no uevent is pending.
Remove any assumptions about sequence numbers and deprecate libudev's
API exposing these numbers; none of that can reliably be used anymore
when namespaces are involved.
