Without this fix, udev(7) munges the two items together, like so:
ATTR{filename}, SYSCTL{kernel parameter}
Match sysfs attribute values of the event device. Trailing
whitespace in the attribute values is ignored unless the specified
match value itself contains trailing whitespace. Match a kernel
parameter value.
You're not allowed to have a <term> element after a <listitem> element within a
<varlistentry>.
xmllint complains:
udev.xml:192: element varlistentry: validity error : Element varlistentry content does not follow the DTD, expecting (term+ , listitem), got (term listitem term listitem )

|
|
<para>udev supplies the system software with device events, manages permissions
|
|
of device nodes and may create additional symlinks in the <filename>/dev</filename>
|
|
directory, or renames network interfaces. The kernel usually just assigns unpredictable
|
|
device names based on the order of discovery. Meaningful symlinks or network device
|
|
names provide a way to reliably identify devices based on their properties or
|
|
current configuration.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The udev daemon, <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-udevd.service</refentrytitle>
|
|
<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>, receives device uevents directly from
|
|
the kernel whenever a device is added or removed from the system, or it changes its
|
|
state. When udev receives a device event, it matches its configured set of rules
|
|
against various device attributes to identify the device. Rules that match may
|
|
provide additional device information to be stored in the udev database or
|
|
to be used to create meaningful symlink names.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>All device information udev processes is stored in the udev database and
|
|
sent out to possible event subscribers. Access to all stored data and the event
|
|
sources is provided by the library libudev.</para>
|
|
</refsect1>
|
|
|
|
<refsect1><title>Rules Files</title>
|
|
<para>The udev rules are read from the files located in the
|
|
system rules directory <filename>/usr/lib/udev/rules.d</filename>,
|
|
the volatile runtime directory <filename>/run/udev/rules.d</filename>
|
|
and the local administration directory <filename>/etc/udev/rules.d</filename>.
|
|
All rules files are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order,
|
|
regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with
|
|
identical filenames replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename>
|
|
have the highest priority, files in <filename>/run</filename> take precedence
|
|
over files with the same name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be
|
|
used to override a system-supplied rules file with a local file if needed;
|
|
a symlink in <filename>/etc</filename> with the same name as a rules file in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib</filename>, pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename>,
|
|
disables the rules file entirely. Rule files must have the extension
|
|
<filename>.rules</filename>; other extensions are ignored.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Every line in the rules file contains at least one key-value pair.
|
|
Except for empty lines or lines beginning with <literal>#</literal>, which are ignored.
|
|
There are two kinds of keys: match and assignment.
|
|
If all match keys match against their values, the rule gets applied and the
|
|
assignment keys get the specified values assigned.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A matching rule may rename a network interface, add symlinks
|
|
pointing to the device node, or run a specified program as part of
|
|
the event handling.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>A rule consists of a comma-separated list of one or more key-value pairs.
|
|
Each key has a distinct operation, depending on the used operator. Valid
|
|
operators are:</para>

<para>The following key names can be used to match against device properties.

|
Some of the keys also match against properties of the parent devices in sysfs,

|
not only the device that has generated the event. If multiple keys that match
|
|
a parent device are specified in a single rule, all these keys must match at
|
|
one and the same parent device.</para>

<para>The set of characters to name a symlink is limited. Allowed
