We special-handle events with a TIMEOUT= set, so they don't get queued
or wait for parent events to finish, to make sure we can handle them
as fast as possible.
With this change we first try to find an idle worker process before
forking a new one.
readlink does not write a nul character to the end of the
string it returns. Therefore ask for one fewer character
than the buffer size so there's always room for an extra \0.

We can not predict the major/minor of non-existing devices:

/sys/class/block/sda1/dev:259:524288
/sys/class/block/sda2/dev:259:262144

/sys/class/block/sdb/dev:259:655360
/sys/class/block/sdc/dev:259:393216
If this functionality is still needed for some broken hardware, it needs to be
solved with a tool not part of the udev package. Because such option is unreliable
and unsafe to use.
A common use (e.g. in Ubuntu) for udevadm monitor is to log the events
received by udev during boot; events can be lost of the buffer size isn't
increased as udevd does.

We do no longer delete the primary device node while handling "remove"
events if the same kernel device is already re-created in the meantime.
This prevents the asynchronously running udev from removing and re-creating
primary device nodes for active devices.
It handles only RUN but not IMPORT and PROGRAM. There is no sane way
to suppress program execution. Most important programs run with IMPORT
these days. Also events can no longer suppressed with the libudev
netlink messages, so UDEV_RUN does nothing useful and is just
inconsistent.
There is no way to ignore an event these days. Libudev events can
not be suppressed. It only prevents RUN keys from being executed,
which results in an inconsistent behavior in current setups.

Its use breaks too many things which expect to be run from independent
later rules, and is an idication that something needs to be fixed
properly instead.

With well defined and kernel-supplied node names, we no longer need
to support a possible stack of conflicting symlinks and node names.
Only symlinks with identical names can be claimed by multiple devices.
This shrinks the former /dev/.udev/names/ significantly.
Also the /dev/{block,char}/MAJ:MIN" links are excluded from the name
stack - they are unique and can not conflict.
External programs triggered by events (via RUN=) will inherit udev's
signal mask, which is set to block all but SIGALRM. For most utilities,
this is OK, but if we start daemons from RUN=, we run into trouble
(especially as SIGCHLD is blocked).
This change saves the original sigmask when udev starts, and restores it
just before we exec() the external command.

With very deeply nested devices, We can not use a single file
name to carry an entire DEVPATH. Use <subsystem>:<sysname> as
the database filename, which should also simplify the handling
of devices moving around, as these values will not change but
still be unique.
For the name stack we use the <maj>:<min> now as the filename.

Instead of using multiple recursive Makefile.am files, use a single
Makefile.am that sets and builds all the basic suite of libraries and
binaries for udev. This reduces the number of files in the source tree, and
also reduces drastically the build time when using parallel-make.
With this setup, all the compile steps will be executed in parallel, and
just the linking stage will be (partially) serialised on the libraries
creation.
If by-path / by-id links don't quite do what you want, this is a nice
clean way to extend the behaviour. Real example:
SYMLINK=="serial/by-id/usb-Novatel_Wireless_Inc*CDMA*-if00-port0", \\
SYMLINK+="cellcard"
Some users ask how to do things like this.
- create an additional link with a shorter name
- create a link which matches more loosely
(omit certain path segments e.g. serial numbers)
- change permissions on certain USB device nodes
Allow them to realize this without reading the friendly *.c files.

Dates aren't shown in the manpages. So they are not really useful,
and no-one is going to remember to update them.
"<refmiscinfo class="version"></refmiscinfo>" sounds even less useful.
I leave the unused "title" and "productname" tags. They could
theoretically be useful, and aren't hard to maintain. We just need to
fix the "title" for udevadm.

It did not work for the last couple of releases.
If RUN{record_failed}+="..." is given, a non-zero execution will mark
the event as failed. Recorded failed events can be re-triggered with:
udevadm trigger --type=failed
The failed tracking _might_ be useful for things which might not be
ready to be executed at early bootup, but a bit later when the needed
dependencies are available. In many cases though, it indicates that
something is used in a way it should not.
We may need to handle SIGCHLD before the queued worker message. The last
reference, from the SIGCHLD or the worker message will clean up the worker
context. In case we receive an unexpected SIGCHLD with an error, we let
the event fail and clean up the worker context.
Persistent network rules write out new rules files. When rules change,
we need to kill all workers to update the in-memory copy of the rules.
We need to make sure, that a worker finshes its work for all device
messages it has accepted, before it exits after a SIGTERM from the main
process.
Event processes now get re-used after they handled an event. This reduces
pressure on the CPU significantly because cloned event processes no longer
cause page faults in the main daemon. After the events have settled, the
no longer needed worker processes get killed.
The math in skip_to() was the wrong way round and allocated a
variable size array on the stack with a massively negative size.

Directory lookups show up in profiling. The queue files are responsible
for a large proportion of file-related system calls in udev coldplug.
Instead of creating a file for each event, append their details to a
log file. The file is periodically rebuilt (garbage-collected) to
prevent it from growing indefinitely.
This single queue file replaces both the queue directory and the
uevent_seqnum file. On desktop systems the file tends not to grow
beyond one page. So it should also save a small amount of memory in
tmpfs.
Tests on a running EeePC indicate average savings of 5% *udevd* cpu time
as measured by oprofile. __link_path_walk is reduced from 1.5% to
1.3%. It is not completely clear where the rest of the gains come from.
In tests running ~400 events, the queue file is rebuilt about 5 times.

UDev follows the kernel given name, and re-uses the kernel created
device node. If the kernel and spcecified udev rules disagree, the
udev specified node node is created and the kernel-created on is
deleted.

Messages send back by the udev daemon to the netlink socket are
multiplexed by the kernel and delivered to multiple clients. The
clients can upload a socket filter to let the kernel drop messages
not belonging to a certain subsystem. This prevent needless wakeups
and message processing for users who are only interested in a
subset of available events.
Recent kernels allow untrusted users to listen to the netlink
messages.
The messages send by the udev daemon are versioned, to prevent any
custom software reading them without libudev. The message wire format
may change with any udev version update.
For added protection, ignore any unicast message received on the
netlink socket or any multicast message on the kernel group not
received from the kernel.
