Update scsi_id to work with the libsysfs changes in udev: use
sysfs_get_classdev_attr and sysfs_get_device_attr in place of
sysfs_read_attribute_value.
Changes to scsi_id to support the udev %N and %p substitutions:
- Update version from .7 to .8
- change TMP_DIR back to /tmp
- if DEVPATH is set assume hotplug_mode (use syslog for logging, and does
not output some warnings)
- Always output a newline after the id is printed
- Allow command line options to override settings when hotplug_mode is set
- update man page
- update generator script to use the %N and %p substitutions.
udev can create the temporary node for us now. (On bootup we don't
know where a writable filesystem is mounted). Also the parent handling
is not needed anymore, cause udev is able to pass us the node name
of the parent device.
Adding prototypes for functions resulted in an error, cause:
table_find_disk(disk_snum, &chassis_num, &slot_num);
is called but the function is defined as:
int table_find_disk(char *serialnumber , int *host_num, int *chassis_num, int *slot_num)
which can obviously not work correctly.
Using popen() is not klibc compatible, so skip the compilation if
a klibc compile is requested.
The -d option in udev_allows to go from a partition to the underlying disk
for s390 dasd labels. If the device is already the disk itself, finding the
parent will fail, therefore -d on /sys/block/dasda/ for example gives no
result at all.
Fix FAT label reading bug for very large volumes.
Recognize FAT label at Win98 formatted volumes.
Read iso9660 joliet descriptor for unicode labels.
Support uuid/label of swap partitions.
Here is the first patch to cleanup the internal processing of the
various stages of an udev event. It should not change any behavior,
but if your system depends on udev, please always test it before reboot :)
We pass only one generic structure around between add, remove,
namedev, db and dev_d handling and make all relevant data available
to all internal stages. All udev structures are renamed to "udev".
We replace the fake parameter by a flag in the udev structure.
We open the class device in the main binaries and not in udev_add, to
make it possible to use libsysfs for udevstart directory crawling.
The last sleep parameters are removed.
Let's try it another way:
We define BLKGETSIZE64 in udev-volume_id.c now, cause including <fs.h>
does also not work with klibc. This hopefully fixes your compile problem
too.
Also included is an update to udev_volume_id with the latest fixes for
volume_id. It adds a simple logging file to map the debug function, that
we can use exactly the same files in HAL and udev.
Here is an update for the volume_id callout to catch up to the latest
and greatest:
o It is able to skip the label reading of linux raid members, which are
otherwise recognized as a normal filesystem.
o It reads FAT labels stored in the directory instead of the
superblock (Windows only writes in the directory).
o The NTFS uuid is the right one now.
o It reads all the Apple HFS(+) formats with the labels.
o UFS volumes are recognized but no labels are extracted.
o We use CFLAGS+=-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 instead of lsee64() which may fix
a bug mentioned on the klibc mailing list.
A lot of other new features are only used in HAL and not needed in this
simple callout. But if someone stumbles over it and want's to send a patch
for some exotic formats, we better keep it up to date :)
The attached patch contains a few patches against udev, to remove
use of various XSI:isms and bash:isms, and to change two scripts form
/bin/bash to /bin/sh. None of the bash-scripts in test/ uses any
bash-specific functions as far as I know, but I didn't touch them since
they aren't used runtime.
Rationale:
* Both of the /bin/bash-scripts are totally free from bashisms, hence they
don't need to be /bin/bash; using /bin/sh instead helps (mainly)
embedded-people
* local and source are bash:isms (well, they exist in several other
shells as well, but they aren't part of POSIX or any of its extensions)
* -a in tests is an XSI-extension, not part of strict POSIX, and is
easily replaced by &&
| http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/test.html
* Use of fgrep is deprecated in POSIX in favour of grep -F (though fgrep
will remain in use for a long time...)
| http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/grep.html
The fgrep-change isn't really necessary, since fgrep can always be
implemented as a shell-script, but the rest of the changes would really
be appreciated.
First, update extras/start_udev. udevstart always internally set
UDEV_NO_SLEEP as well as setting the ACTION variable, so that only needs
to be done in the run_udev script case.

volume_id is now able to read NTFS labels. Not very exciting, but we
keep up to date with the version in HAL. Also __packed__ was needed for
the structs, cause the gcc 3.4 compiled version was no longer working
properly.
Here is a update to extras/volume_id/*
o The device is now specified by the DEVPATH in the environment,
it's no longer needed to pass the major/minor to the callout.
o leading spaces and slashes are now removed from the returned string
and spaces are replaced by underscore, to not to confuse udev.
o Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> provided the code to recognize s390
dasd disk labels. The -d switch tries to read the main block device
instead of the partition.

Here is a update, which supports iso9660 and udf labels.
Not very useful in the udev case, but I've added it for hal,
so we just catch up with the latest version.
here is a small udev toy, which enables udev to name partitions by
its filesystem label or uuid's.
The following udev rule:
KERNEL="sd*", PROGRAM="/sbin/udev_volume_id -M%M -m%m -u", SYMLINK="%c"
creates a symlink with the uuid read from the filesystem. If no label or
uuid is found the program exits with nonzero and the rule will fail.
ext2, ext3, reiserfs, xfs, jfs, vfat, msdos volume labels are supported,
ntfs and swap partitions can be recognized.
It's possible to compile with klibc and the static binary takes 13kb.
Here is the fix for extras/seliux/*
o install the binary in /sbin/
o add symlink to /etc/dev.d/ with suffix .dev
o removed the undefined udev_log variable
o fixed compiler warnings

Here we install the binary in /usr/sbin/ and symlink it to
/etc/dev.d/ with the .dev suffix.
It seems that the transition from DEVNODE to DEVNAME wasn't done
everywhere. This broke udev_dbus for me.
Attached patch does the transition in the places it wasn't done yet.
Hi, Greg. Appended is scsi-devfs.sh, a script for udev to implement
devfs-style names for SCSI hard discs, CD-ROM's and generic devices.
This has been tested with both hard discs and CD-ROM's. The SCSI
generic support should be OK for when there is sysfs/udev support for
SCSI generic devices. SCSI tapes are not yet implemented because I
don't have one to test with.
In addition, this script supports physical names, based on PCI bus
location, both longhand (/udev/bus/pci/...) and shorthand
(/udev/sd/pci/*).
Here we change the magic callout part number selector to the new
atribute syntax. The syntax to select the second part of the callout string:
'%2c' is now '%c{2}'
I think it's more clear and we no longer misuse the length argument.
The old syntax is still supported, but we should remove it some
time in the future.

ok I coded the suggested tool.
it works with the following rule :
KERNEL="dm-[0-9]*", PROGRAM="/sbin/devmap_name %M %m", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="%c"
I don't know if it's right to keep this tools packaged with multipath because
it's widely more general.
Maybe Joe should merge it in the device-mapper package or provide the
functionnality through dmsetup ?

The first patch is to be applied.
The second is conditioned by udev dealing correctly with devmap names.
For this I can suggest a CALLOUT rule like this :

this patch corrects ide devices with number greater than 9 being linked
into wrong discs/discX directories (my hda10 device was in discs/disc1
directory)
it adds % into pattern for $DRIVE, so for example, hda10 is not eaten

I want to make udevinfo the standard query interface, so all the user
features of the main udev are copied in here. It is now capable to:
o query the database for a given value
o dump the whole database
o extract all possible device attributes for a sysfs_device
In addition to the known options of udev it supports the query for the
mode of the device node, and it includes the mode in the database dump:
udevinfo -d
P: /class/video4linux/video0
N: video/webcam0
M: 0666
S: camera0 kamera0
O: 500
G: 500
It is also a bit more friendly with the pathnames specified for devices or nodes.
We remove the absolute path or add it if neccessary:
udevinfo -q mode -n video/webcam0
udevinfo -q mode -n /udev/video/webcam0
0666
udevinfo -q mode -p /sys/class/video4linux/video0
udevinfo -q mode -p /class/video4linux/video0
udevinfo -q mode -p class/video4linux/video0
0666
udevinfo is now capable to print "all" attributes along the device chain
of a sysfs device. Just like udev itself it walks the chain upwards and
prints all usable attributes in the udev key format.
So it should be easy to find unique attributes to compose a rule.
All multiline attribute values and values containing non printable
characters are skipped now. I hope nothing useful gets lost with this :)
NOTE:
The BUS value corresponding with the attributes is printed for every
device. Don't specify BUS= in a rule and mix SYSFS_attributes from
different busses, the rule can't match.

Optimize the scripts reflecting the now more powerful rule logic,
cause we can combine all known fields now in any order:
The ide-devfs.sh is only executed if the kernel name matches with 'hd*':
BUS="ide", KERNEL="hd*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/ide-devfs.sh %k %b %n", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="%1c %2c"
The name_cdrom.pl is only executed for ide and scsi devices, but not for a partition.
It exits with nonzero to skip the rule if the CD is not found:
KERNEL="[hs]d[a-z]", PROGRAM="name_cdrom.pl %M %m", NAME="%1c", SYMLINK="cdrom"
I had too much time during the holidays, so I played a bit with udev. The
changes are like last time mostly on the init stuff. I'm sending you this as
a great diff which is just for comments.
What it does:
-fix a typo in Makefile
-use only one "grep -v" instead of many
-don't include BK-Files into release (shrinks the stuff to 30%!)
-add a new init script which is LSB compliant
-add some flags to choose which one to use
-use /etc/udev/udev.conf in Redhat init script as the source for the udev
directory. If this is not done then the init script may create a directory
which udev itself isn't using (I changed /udev to /Udev to avoid collisions
with /usr and ran into this)
-first check for sysfs_dir before creating udev_root (maybe someone else has
already fixed this, I saw this discussion on lkml)
Hey, this is funny.
I couldn't resist to give it a try and we need a few changes:
- it's %2c otherwise nearly all my CD's are "good", but sure I also have bad ones :)
- remove the node first, cause get_cddb() dies and leaves the old one there
- remove spaces in name, cause this is our separator

Here is a experimental CALLOUT script for udev to create devfs nodes
for IDE-devices. Not that I need these, I just wanted to see if it works :)
The script is really stupid, no error handling, nothing more than
absolutely needed. The rule uses the 'k' format char of the previous
patch. The %D is not used, so the user can have disc or disk :)
this single line:
CALLOUT, BUS="ide", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/ide-devfs.sh %k %b %n", ID="hd*", NAME="%1c", SYMLINK="%2c"
creates the following on my machine with two hard disks, one DVD and a PCMCIA-compact-flash inserted:

Ananth released sysfsutils 0.4.0 last night, I'm sure you saw the email.
Here's a patch with the latest changes from the pre-patch I already
gave you. It includes sysfs_get_device_parent(), which you said you
needed. I've run your test scripts and I've built scsi_id. Please
play around with this and check it out.
There are quite a few changes. Please do not access
structure pointers, like sysfs_device's parent, directly like
dev->parent. Please use the "get" function to retrieve. The functions
load things on demand and refresh views under the covers.
Scsi_id hasn't been changed to use the latest libsysfs changes. The
"directory" in the sysfs_class_device is now considered "private" and only
should be accessed using functions. Treating the structures as handles lets
us only load information when it's needed, reducing caching or stale
information and also helping performance.
Here's the problem.
static inline char *sysfs_get_attr(struct sysfs_class_device *dev,
const char *attr)
{
return sysfs_get_value_from_attributes(dev->directory->attributes,
attr);
}
Please try this quick fix:
* Make the HW-specific get_unique_id switch pretty
* Prepare to field-test by whitelisting all known fibre array, try to
fetch WWID from the standard EVPD 0x83 off 8 for everyone ... we will
learn from feedback :)
Could you drop a note with the udev-009 release-notes asking for testing
this WWID fetching thing ?
* update the Makefiles to autodetect libgcc.a & gcc includes
"ulibc-style". Factorisation of udevdirs & others niceties
* drop a hint about absent /dev/sd? on failed open() for poor Debian
users who don't imagine their favorite distro with only 16 preconfigured
SCSI device nodes :)
* implement a reschedule flag in /var/run. Last thing the prog do before
exit is check if a call to multipath was done (but canceled by
/var/run/multipath.run check) during its execution. If so restart the
main loop.
* implement a blacklist of sysfs bdev to not bother with for now (hd,
md, dm, sr, scd, ram, raw). This avoid sending SG_IO to unappropiate
devices.
Compiles & survive "while true;do (./multipath -v &);done"
here is the next update which brings this multipath to the state i'm not
ashamed of it being in udev :)
* drop a libdevmapper copy in extras/multipath; maybe discussions w/
Sistina folks will bring a better solution in the future.
* drop a putchar usage in libdevmapper to compile cleanly with klibc
* drop another such usage of my own in main.c
* massage the Makefile to compile libdevmapper against klibc
* use "ld" to produce the binary rather than "gcc -static"
* stop being stupid w/ uneeded major, minor & dev in main.c:dm_mk_node()
* reverse to creating striped target for now because the multipath
target is more hairy than expected initialy
* push the version code to 009 to be in synch w/ udev
builds & run here.
binary size is 43ko, which is fairly gratifying after all the efforts
I've put to compiling it with klibc :)
here is a clean-up patch :
* removes sg_err.[ch] deps
* makes sure the core code play nice with klibc
* port the sysfs calls to dlist helpers
* links against udev's sysfs (need libsysfs.a & dlist.a)
* finally define DM_TARGET as "multipath" as Joe posted the code today
(not tested yet)
* push version forward (do you want it in sync with udev version?)
libdevmapper doesn't play well with klibc, so I wasn't able to produce a
static binary yet. Help needed here ... as I don't want to fall back to
merge libdevmapper code in the core.
It compiles here and doesn't segfault.
