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.
Here are the missing pieces for udevtest. A simple man page is added,
the blacklist is removed, cause it can't work without having a subsystem.
The Makefile removes all manpages now with a uninstall and installs
udevtest in /usr/bin/.
Any old version from /sbin/ should be deleted by hand.
The only expected argument is the sysfs devpath, here I changed it to be
more tolerant to the input. The path may now be specified with or
without a leading slash and optionally with the /sys moutpoint prepended.
I hope this will end the confusion about the use of this program :)
Here I try to make the style a bit more consistant in the different
files, so that new patches just copy the 'right' one :)
Some "magic" numbers are replaced and udevtest.c is catched up with udev.
Here we truncate our input strings from the environment to our
defined limit. It's a bit theroretical but better check for it.
It cleans up some magic length definitions and removes the code
duplication in udev, udevtest and udevsend.
udevd needs to be killed after installation, cause the message size
is changed with this patch.
Should we do this with the 'make install', like we do with the '.udevdb'?
