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 are the tests for the enumeration character %e. I've added a option
string to be able to do a whole sequence of tests without node removal,
so we can skip the "remove" event and get an increasing number to append
to the name. After the sequence test the whole directory is cleaned for
the next tests.

Yeah, thanks for pointing that out. It only happens if the file ends with
whitespace-only lines. Here is a fix and a test for udev-test.pl to
cover that case.

Yes, I can simulate this, please try the attached patch. I expect, that
it fixes it, cause we better not mangle the parsed config while matching
the rules.

How about something like this. It adds all the net devices without
looking at the attributes and keeps the remaining logic like it is.
It also removes certain levels of indirection and much simplifies the
udevstart process. We surely don't need to open and close the udevdb
for every node while iterating over the list. (We are about 5% faster on
my box)
It's not well tested, so it would be nice if someone can have a look
at it, before a broken udevstart renders any system unbootable.

Thanks for the cleanup.
You may have overlooked the fix for udev_config.c(parsing udev.conf) in
your patch. So, I've adapted the fixes you applied to namedev_parse.c
to this file also.
Also, while 'eating' the whitespace the 'count' doesn't get decremented.
This leads strncpy to copy the number of whitespace minus 1 characters
from the next line. Minus 1 because it copies '\n' from the current
line.
while (isspace(bufline[0])) {
bufline++;
+ count--;
}
.
.
.
strncpy(line, bufline, count);
Included patch(against udev-030) contains the above fixes as well as
your fixes.

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 :)
We ran into problems with all the /etc/hotplug.d/ scripts that sleep for
the sysfs files or for other reasons. Anyway, it takes much too much time
before udev is executed.
HAL has its own notifier in /etc/hotplug.d/ and also waits for the
dev.d/events with the same SEQNUM. Sometimes it take 25 seconds between
these two events, cause the other scripts are sleeping too much :)
Attached is a patch that installs the udevsend symlink as
10-udev.hotplug instead of udev.hotplug, to be executed earlier.
[kay@pim udev.kay]$ tree /etc/hotplug.d/
/etc/hotplug.d/
`-- default
|-- 10-udev.hotplug -> /sbin/udevsend
|-- 20-hal.hotplug -> /usr/libexec/hal.hotplug
`-- default.hotplug
here we change udevd to pass the SEQNUM from the hotplug environment
to udev and the dev.d/ scripts. We need this for HAL to match the
hotplug event with the dev.d/ events.
It also changes the type from int to long to match the kernel.

Thanks Eric, udevsend.8 is only a symlink to udevd.8, so I attached a
stripped down patch to this mail.
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.
Move setting UDEV_NO_SLEEP into main(). I thought about moving
udev_init_config() around, but it still must be invoked in both udev and
udevstart cases, and before udev_hotplug() is called. An alternative
would be to have main() do:
if (is_udevstart) {
... current ...
} else {
udev_init_config();
return udev_hotplug();
}
And move setting UDEV_NO_SLEEP into udev_start(). I can redo it that
way, if you prefer.

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.

Hi,
The following patch makes udev/udevstart be a common binary. First,
doing this grows udev by a total of 1.8kB (ppc32, stripped) whereas
udevstart by itself is 6.4kB. I know you mentioned being able to
replace udevstart with a script, but at 1.8kB I don't think it'll be
easy to beat this with size there. Next, the following are by-eye
timings of before, after, and with devfs on a slow, but still usable
embedded platform (config stripped down to more-or-less bare for
ramdisk):
-- Embedded Planet RPX LITE, 64Mhz MPC 823e --
devfs : 15.333s, 15.253s, 14.988s (15.191s avg)
udev-pristine : 18.675s, 18.079s, 18.418s (18.390s avg)
udev-multi : 14.587s, 14.747s, 14.868s (14.734s avg)
The patch ends up being rather large to add this, as in doing so I ended
up making all refs (that I hit..) to devpath/subsystem be marked as
'const'.

I noticed a comment in namedev.c which stated
"Figure out where the device symlink is at. For char devices this will
always be in the class_dev->path. But for block devices, it's
different. The main block device will have the device symlink in it's
path, but all partitions have the symlink in its parent directory. But
we need to watch out for block devices that do not have parents, yet
look like a partition (fd0, loop0, etc.). They all do not have a device
symlink yet. We do a sit and spin on waiting for them right now, we
should possibly have a whitelist for these devices here..."
I went ahead and created a whitelist for the block devices that look
like partitions (mainly by using devices.txt) and tested for any
performance increase that we would see. The whitelist only impacts
udevstart time depending on the state of UDEV_NO_SLEEP. Since the list
was short, I just did a sequential search and ordered the list in such a
way that those block devices which have more /dev entires (ex. loop0,
loop1, loop2, etc) appear sooner in the list and will thus be found
quicker. I've enclosed the patch and some of the performance results I
saw below. Basically, as the number of block devices without device
symlinks increased, the use of the whitelist improved udevstart
performance compared to just sitting and spinning. I just thought it
was interesting and thought I'd share. If you feel the patch is
beneficial please consider for merging. Also, if you'd be interested in
expanding the whitelist for other devices which are missing device
symlinks and seeing if there are added performance increases let me know
and I'll do what I can. Thanks,
Leann
Note: ex. loop represents all the loop devices (i.e. loop0, loop1,
loop2, etc)
block devices present with whitelist time
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's an update to the documentation. It makes a few minor corrections and
adds info about multiple-symlinks.
It also seems that the patch I sent on April 27th (patching v0.53 to 0.54) was
not applied, so this patch includes that update too, which was also just some
small corrections plus added info on renaming network devices.
