All udev state is kept in /$udev_root/.udev/ now. No option to
configure that anymore, it will always be there.

With removing the event reorder queue, we can fix the TIMEOUT events
like firmware loading proper, and never delay any of these events.

Netlink will never get out-of-order and we just depend on it from
now on. Udevsend messages will have no effect if they contain a
sequence number (SEQNUM).
Thanks to Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org>, for the debugging session
which identified a bug where the timeouts are not working if
inotify was not available. All the timeout handling is removed
now and this issue should be solved.

The rules files are parsed only once at daemon startup. Every udev
event process will be fork()'d from udevd without exec()'ing the udev
binary. The in-memory rules will be inherited from the daemon itself.
If inotify is available, udevd will reload all rules if any change in
/etc/udev/rules.d/ happens. Otherwise -HUP or "udevcontrol reload_rules"
can be used.

Controls the behavior of the running daemon. Currently only stopping and starting
of the execution queue is supported.

Thanks to Hannes for the patch.
If the system reaches a defined limit of processes in running state, udevd
starts to count its own processes in running state from its session (all
forked hotplug child processes, subprocesses and callouts) and throttles
further process forking if the limit is reached.
This should help setups with hundreds of events emitted hotplug events
in parallel with hundreds of processes in "R" state. which makes the machine
unresponsible.
I placed a 100% cpu time consuming program in /etc/hotplug.d/ which runs for 5
seconds. With this patch I can load "scsi_debug add_host=100" without any major
problem. Without the patch the box is completly unresponsible for many minutes.
Define an inititialization phase, where we delay the events only
for a short time to eventually recollect the event sequence instead
of delaying the very first events for 10 seconds, which breaks the
firmware loader.
Currently udevd delays only events for the same DEVPATH.
Example of an "add" event sequence:
/block/sda
/block/sda/sda1
With this change, we make sure, that the udev process handling
/block/sda has finished its work (waited for all attributes,
created the node) before we fork the udev event for /block/sda/sda1.
This way the event for sda1 can be sure, that the node for the
main device is already created (may be useful for disk labels).
It will not affect any parallel device handling, only the sequence
of the devices directory chain is serialized. The 10.000 disks
plugged in will still run as parallel events. :)
The main motivation to do this is the program execution of the
dev.d/ and hotplug.d/ directory. If we don't wait for the parent
event to exit, we can't be sure that the executed scripts are
run in the right order.

Make _all_ hotplug variables available to the forked udev,
the udev callouts and the udev dev.d/ scripts. We put the
whole environment into a buffer and send it over the udevd
socket. udevd recreates *envp[] and passes it to the exec().
Change to the same timeout loop we use in the rest of the code. Change
some comments and names to be more descriptive.
I'm mostly finished with the overall cleanup. I will post a new patch
for the udevd-nofork experiment, which will be much smaller now.
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.
here is a patch on top of your nice improvements.
I fixed the whitespace and it hopefully fixes the stupid timestamp bug in
udevd. Some stupid OS sets the hwclock to localtime and linux changes it
to UTC while starting. If any events are pending they may be delayed by
the users time distance from UTC :) So we use the uptime seconds now.
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'?
As Chris Friesen <chris_friesen@sympatico.ca> suggested, here we switch
the unix domains socket path to abstract namespace and get rid of the
socket file in the filesystem.
Hey, this was new to me today. So here a few words:
Linux supports a abstract namespace for sockets. We don't need a
physical file on the filesystem but only a unique string magically
starting with the '\0' character.
strace with real file:
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, path="/udev/.udevd.sock"}, 110)
strace with abstract namespace:
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, path=@udevd}, 110)

Same patch with a fix for the stack size setting.

Next cleaned up version. Hey, nobody wants to try it :)
Works for me, It's funny if I connect/disconnect my 4in1-usb-flash-reader
every two seconds. The 2.6 usb rocks! I can connect/diconnect a hub with 3
devices plugged in every second and don't run into any problem but a _very_
big udevd queue.
Here is the next round. We have three queues now. All incoming messages
are queued in msg_list and if nothing is missing we move it to the
running_list and exec in the background.
If the exec comes back, it removes the message from the running_list and
frees the message.
Before we exec, we check the running_list if there is a udev running on
the same device path. If yes, we move the message to the delay_list. If
the former exec comes back, we move the message to the running_list and
exec it.
The very first event is delayed now to catch possible earlier sequences,
every following event is executed without delay if no sequence is missing.
The daemon doesn't exit by itself any longer, cause we don't want to
delay every first exec.
I've put a $(PWD) for now in the Makefile for testing this beast. Only
the local binaries are executed, not the /sbin/udev. We can change it
if we are ready for real testing.
And SIGKILL can't be cought, so I removed it from the handler :)

Here is the next revision for udevd:
o Small cleanups all over the place.
o Swich to the usual linked list format "list.h".
o Better timeout handling.
We store a timestamp in in every queued event, so we don't wait longer
than the timeout specified, if the hole in the list is not shrinking.
o ignore udevd target if klibc is used
Here is the next round of udevd/udevsend:
udevsend - If the IPC message we send is not catched by a receiver we fork
the udevd daemon to process this and the following events
udevd - We reorder the events we receive and execute our current udev for
every event. If one or more events are missing, we wait
10 seconds and then go ahead in the queue.
If the queue is empty and we don't receive any event for the next
30 seconds, the daemon exits.
The next incoming event will fork the daemon again.
config - The path's to the executable are specified in udevd.h
Now they are pointing to the current directory only.
I don't like daemons hiding secrets (and mem leaks :)) inside,
so I want to try this model. It should be enough logic to get all possible
hotplug events executed in the right order.
If no event, then no daemon! So everybody should be happy :)
Here we see:
1. the daemon fork,
2. the udev work,
3. the 10 sec timeout and the skipped events,
4. the udev work,
...,
5. and the 30 sec timeout and exit.

Here is the next updated updated version to apply to the lastet udev.
I've added infrastructure for getting the state of the IPC queue in the
sender and set the program to exec by the daemon. Also the magic key id
is replaced by the usual key generation by path/nr.
It looks promising, I use it on my machine and my 4in1 USB-flash-reader
connect/disconnect emits the events "randomly" but udevd is able to
reorder it and calls our normal udev in the right order.
