my syslog want's to contact you :)
Dec 25 20:37:48 pim udev[2274]: wait_for_device_to_initialize: Did not find bus type 'ide' on list of bus_id_files, contact greg@kroah.com
We need to put 'ide' to the bus_files array,
don't know which file to use...
Now we only sleep if we can't find the device file, and we have
a hack to sleep for 1 second if we are on a partition. This will be
removed when the libsysfs change gets made...
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' :)
Try this patch if you like, to get special parts of the callout output.
This beast works now:
CALLOUT, BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/bin/echo -n node link1 link2", ID="node *", NAME="%1c", SYMLINK="%2c %3c"
The callout returned string is separated by spaces and is
addressed by the "len" value of the 'c' format char.
Since we support symlinks, this my be useful for other uses of callout too.
introduce 'len number' for format chars
the first use is 'c'-the callout return to select a part of the output string like:
CALLOUT, BUS="scsi", PROGRAM="/bin/echo -n node link1 link2", ID="node *", NAME="%1c", SYMLINK="%2c %3c"
(note: first part is requested by len=1, len=0 will return the whole string)
add a test to udev-test.pl
I am sending you a pre-release patch. It's everything that's in our
current CVS tree. It adds the functionality you've been looking for. Please
play with this before checking it into your tree, I'd like to know if
it's ok with you or if you find problems. I have tested this out with
test.all and the perl regression test. Let me know what you think.
Still need to do more testing for our work and add some more functions
related to the changes.
I've gone into namedev.c and udev-add.c to make the necessary changes
in line with the library. I have not gone and edited any of the "extras".
Changes:
1) Libsysfs object structures work more as handles now, their included
directories or devices are labeled private. If you need attributes
from a sysfs_class_device, call the available function and don't access
the directory directly. Same holds true for a sysfs_class_device
sysfs_device. Do not access the link directly but call the function
sysfs_get_classdev_device() instead. We only populate entries upon
request, makes things faster and uses less memory.
2) Added sysfs_get_classdev_parent() as requested.
3) Changed getpagesize to sysconf.
4) Added sysfs_refresh_attributes function for refreshing views of
attribute lists. We still need to add refresh for links and subdirs. All
udev needs to do is keep calling sysfs_get_classdev_attr() and that will
internally call the refresh routine.

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_node: symlink(../../a/b/node, udev-root/1/2/c/d/symlink)
While I was adding pattern match to the LABEL method i hit a bug.
We modify a string returned from libsysfs, so with every iteration is is
truncated by one char:

Dec 4 02:27:16 pim udev[23307]: do_label: compare attribute 'vendor' value 'IBM-' with 'IBM-ESXSS'
I changed the behavior to remove only the line feed.
03-bug-in-linefeed-removal.diff
remove only the line feed from string not every last char
As promised yesterday, here is a patch to implement a more advanced
pattern matching instead of the simple '*'.
We can remove the "tty"="tty" line from udev.rules now and
replace "tty*" by "tty[0-9]*" to catch only the vc's.
implement pattern matching in namedev
'*' - to match zero or more chars
'?' - to match exactly one char
'[]' - character classes with ranges '[0-9]'and negation [!A]
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.

I would prefer to have the ability of creating partition nodes in devfs
style built-in to udev. Devfs used to call the whole disk e.g.
"/dev/dasd/0123/disk" and the partitions "/dev/dasd/0123/part[1-3]".
This can obviously be done with a CALLOUT rule, but its common enough
to make it a format modifier. AFAIK, this scheme has been used for
ide, scsi and dasd disks, which is about 99% of all disks ever connected
to Linux.
udev kept on segfaulting when it was in use, and not having the time
(and building it with DEBUG=true showing nothing), I have not tracked it
until tonight. Seems like I made a type-o, and forgotten the ':'
between one line's group and permission parameters. Attached patch
should stop the segfault, and warn at that at least.
here is a patch for inserting the callout output into NAME=.
ID= supports the usual wildcard to compare with the output.
I've moved all wildcard matching to a function cause this was the third occurrence.
Also attached is the last whitespace cleanup and debug text corrections.
The callout patch depends on the whitespace patch.
CALLOUT, BUS="usb", PROGRAM="/bin/echo -n return", ID="ret*", NAME="webcam-%c-"
results in:
Nov 21 17:33:51 pim udev[20399]: get_major_minor: found major = 81, minor = 0
Nov 21 17:33:51 pim udev[20399]: exec_callout: callout to '/bin/echo -n return'
Nov 21 17:33:51 pim udev[20399]: exec_callout: callout returned 'return'
Nov 21 17:33:51 pim udev[20399]: get_attr: substitute callout output 'return'
Nov 21 17:33:51 pim udev[20399]: udev_add_device: name = webcam-return-
Nov 21 17:33:51 pim udev[20399]: create_node: mknod(/udev/webcam-return-, 020660, 81, 0)
here is argument support for CALLOUT exec:
CALLOUT, PROGRAM="/bin/echo -n xxx", BUS="usb", ID="xxx", NAME="webcam%n"
results in:
Nov 20 02:35:20 pim udev[30422]: get_major_minor: found major = 81, minor = 0
Nov 20 02:35:20 pim udev[30422]: exec_callout: callout to /bin/echo -n xxx
Nov 20 02:35:20 pim udev[30422]: exec_callout: callout returned 'xxx'
Nov 20 02:35:20 pim udev[30422]: get_attr: kernel number appended: 0
The feature is really nice, but the maximum argument count is hard coded to 8.
I want to bring the CALLOUT field ordering in line with the other
methods, cause the current parsing relies on the ordering it's good
to have it like the others. The BUS= is now the first expected field.
Also made the last two remaining field names to uppercase and the man page
callout example is updated.
here is mainly a whitespace cleanup for namedev.c. I changed the
dbg_parse() output a bit for better readability:

Permissions given in udev.permissions are not applied if no METHOD from
udev.config is found. I've added do_kernelname() to scan for known
permissions if we only use the default method.
Simple support for wildcards is also added:
#name:user:group:mode
hdb*:2702:2702:0660
results in:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 240 Nov 19 03:45 .

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.

Great, just what I was missing. I didn't see the any link to the bk
repository. Here's the patch for the bus_id. I'll need to think about
the handling of callout results a bit more.

Oh, I see. Do you mean something like this:
