Rebooting to set change the kernel command line to set some udev parameters is
inconvenient. Let's allow setting more stuff in the config file.
Also drop quotes from around "info" in udev.conf. We need to accept them for
compatibility, but there is no reason to use them.
This part of the copyright blurb stems from the GPL use recommendations:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
The concept appears to originate in times where version control was per
file, instead of per tree, and was a way to glue the files together.
Ultimately, we nowadays don't live in that world anymore, and this
information is entirely useless anyway, as people are very welcome to
copy these files into any projects they like, and they shouldn't have to
change bits that are part of our copyright header for that.
hence, let's just get rid of this old cruft, and shorten our codebase a
bit.
This drops a good number of type-specific _cleanup_ macros, and patches
all users to just use the generic ones.
In most recent code we abstained from defining type-specific macros, and
this basically removes all those added already, with the exception of
the really low-level ones.
Having explicit macros for this is not too useful, as the expression
without the extra macro is generally just 2ch wider. We should generally
emphesize generic code, unless there are really good reasons for
specific code, hence let's follow this in this case too.
Note that _cleanup_free_ and similar really low-level, libc'ish, Linux
API'ish macros continue to be defined, only the really high-level OO
ones are dropped. From now on this should really be the rule: for really
low-level stuff, such as memory allocation, fd handling and so one, go
ahead and define explicit per-type macros, but for high-level, specific
program code, just use the generic _cleanup_() macro directly, in order
to keep things simple and as readable as possible for the uninitiated.
Note that before this patch some of the APIs (notable libudev ones) were
already used with the high-level macros at some places and with the
generic _cleanup_ macro at others. With this patch we hence unify on the
latter.
Files which are installed as-is (any .service and other unit files, .conf
files, .policy files, etc), are left as is. My assumption is that SPDX
identifiers are not yet that well known, so it's better to retain the
extended header to avoid any doubt.
I also kept any copyright lines. We can probably remove them, but it'd nice to
obtain explicit acks from all involved authors before doing that.
This function is internal to systemd code, so external users of libudev
will not see those log messages. I think this is better. If we want to
allow that, the function could be put in libudev and exported.
v2: check that the string is more than one char before stripping quotes
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.
Emacs C indenting really gets confused by these lines if they carry no
trailing semicolon, hence let's make this nicer for good old emacs. The
other macros which define functions already do this too, so let's copy
the scheme here.
Also, let's use an uppercase name for the macro. So far our rough rule
was that macros that are totally not function-like (like this ones,
which define a function) are uppercase. (Well, admittedly it is a rough
rule only, for example function and variable decorators are all
lower-case SINCE THE CONSTANT YELLING IN THE SOURCES WOULD SUCK, and
also they at least got underscore prefixes.) Also, the macros that
define functions that we already have are all uppercase, so let's do the
same here...
