David Zeuthen 42b9482ab2 Run ata_id on non-removable USB devices
If a USB device is marked as removable, it is often a SATA/PATA disk
in an enclosure (note that flash card readers and usb storage sticks
are always marked as removable). In this case, try running ata_id
(which sends ATA commands wrapped in SCSI ATA PASS THROUGH commands)
to get information about the disk. If this fails, just fall back to
running usb_id since it could be the device isn't an ATA device at
all or the device doesn't have a SAT layer.

This extra information is nice to have as it indicates if it is
suitable to send e.g. SMART commands to the disk, whether the disk
supports power management and so on. Additionally, the VPD and serial
number returned by ata_id is usually more accurate as it stems from
the disk itself instead of the enclosure.

Note that udisks has been doing this for a while

 KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]", ATTR{removable}=="0", ENV{ID_BUS}=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="disk", IMPORT{program}="udisks-probe-ata-smart $tempnode"

so this change shouldn't be too disruptive (udisks-probe-ata-smart
also sends ATA commands via the ATA PASS THROUGH command).

David Zeuthen 98ab6a3772 cdrom_id: Don't ignore profiles when there is no media available
Just because the GET CONFIGURATION MMC-2 command returns the current
profile as 0 does not mean that we can ignore the profiles describing
the capabilities of the drive - it only means that there currently is
no recognized media in the drive. Therefore, do process the returned
profiles even when cur_profile is 0.

This fixes a bug where only

David Zeuthen 560de57514 Use ata_id, not scsi_id, on ATAPI devices
The major benefit here, is that we get the ATAPI device serial
number. With SCSI ID we didn't get this since it's not part of the
SCSI INQUIRY command. Specifically this means that we get symlinks to
empty optical drives, e.g.

 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-VBOX_CD-ROM_VB2-01700376

which we didn't get earlier. So this is a major win.

Also make ata_id work on CD-ROM devices when using /dev/bsg nodes so
this works on both the scsi_device as well as the block device. We do
this, basically, by issuing the ATA IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE command
instead of the ATA IDENTIFY command. We also use 16-byte pass-through
ATA passthrough instead of 12-byte passthrough to avoid clashing with
the MMC BLANK command.

This means that we get this output

 # udevadm info -q all -p /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.1/host3/target3:0:0/3:0:0:0

David Zeuthen 2938220037 Run scsi_id and ata_id on the scsi_device object
In a multi-initiator setup, the HBA may very well export a SCSI device
for a device that another initiator has already logged into. But since
another initiator has already logged in, the kernel will not create a
block device.

Note that this is also the case for some RAID HBAs - for example, the
LSI 1068 series cards will export a SCSI device for a disk that is in
use by the HBAs RAID engine (no block device will be created here).

Running scsi_id and ata_id on the actual SCSI device means that we can
inquire the capabilities of the device. For example, we can check
whether ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SMART and ID_ATA_FEATURE_SET_SMART_ENABLED
is set and, if so, periodically poll the SMART status of the
disk. Even when other initiators has claimed the disk and if the disk
is in use by the RAID engine of the HBA.

Note that we run scsi_id and ata_id on /dev/bsg/* nodes - this is safe
to do because the scsi core guarantees that the bsg device has been
created before the actual add uevent for the scsi_device is emitted.

Since the block device is a direct child of the scsi_device we can
avoid running scsi_id and ata_id again by simply importing the
resulting ID_* properties from the parent.

needs to be reworked since we can't just use the CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY
ioctl on a /dev/bsg node (which is a character device). We do this by
just sending the SCSI INQUIRY command and checking the type (CD-ROM's
are all type 0x05 and disks are type 0x00) before we issue the ATA
IDENTIFY command through the SCSI command ATA PASS_THROUGH (12).

 (Yes, it's a bit perverse how we have to tunnel our ATA commands
 through a SCSI command  but that's how Linux currently work.)

We still support for SG_IO version 3 (we fail back if version 4 fails
with EINVAL) because testing reveals that some drivers (such as
mpt2sas) still only support version 3 on the block nodes.

can be installed in /bin or /sbin and can run without /usr being
mounted. This is needed for e.g. udisks, NetworkManager and other
subsystem-specific daemons.

David Zeuthen 7f4954d040 Export ID_WWN_VENDOR_EXTENSION and ID_WWN_WITH_EXTENSION
Some SCSI devices use the same WWN and have a WWN extension that we
need to take into account when creating the /dev/disk/by-id/wwn

contain either the WWN (if no extension is present) or the WWN with
the vendor extension appended.

David Zeuthen 4e9fdfccbd scsi_id: Export WWN and Unit Serial Number
Since the Unit Serial Number and the WWN are useful bits of
information export them as properties in the udev database. These
bits of information are often printed on the physical disk, see

http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/FUJITSU-MAY2036RC-sas-disk-picture.jpg

and displaying them separately in the UI (or in /dev/disk) might help
users identify the physical disk. This patch exports these bits of
information as ID_WWN and ID_SCSI_SERIAL.

Note that ata_id also use the ID_WWN property since commit
66094a4a7f (2009-11-04).

Also print out ID_SCSI=1 so users of the udev database knows the disk
speaks SCSI.

Here's the scsi_id output from one of my SAS disks with these changes:

 ID_SCSI=1
 ID_VENDOR=FUJITSU
 ID_VENDOR_ENC=FUJITSU\x20
 ID_MODEL=MAY2036RC
 ID_MODEL_ENC=MAY2036RC\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20
 ID_REVISION=0103
 ID_TYPE=disk
 ID_SERIAL=3500000e01b83f520

 ID_WWN=0x500000e01b83f520
 ID_SCSI_SERIAL=B3G1P8500RWT

Unfortunately we can't overload ID_SERIAL for two reasons

 1. ID_SERIAL (and ID_SERIAL_SHORT) exported by scsi_id isn't really
    the unit serial number (as defined by SCSI) - it is sometimes the
    WWN (since it is more unique than the Unit Serial Number) and
    complex rules (to make the serial unique) govern what value to
    use.

 2. It would break existing setups if the value of ID_SERIAL changed

David Zeuthen 4e3664f22b gudev: Fix up GUdevDeviceNumber
Actually dev_t is an unsigned quad type (e.g. 64-bit even on 32-bit
x86) so defining it to be an integer is wrong and not future
proof. Thus, redefine it to actually be a dev_t (as originally wanted)
and instead add a work-around for GNOME bug #584517, see

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=584517

for details. This way, GObject Introspection will still work.

This change is technically an API/ABI break but

 - all released GUdev versions requires the user to understand that
   the API/ABI is unstable by requiring the G_UDEV_API_IS_SUBJECT_TO_CHANGE
   symbols to be defined

 - functions using GUdevDeviceNumber are rarely used

so we don't bump the so number.

David Zeuthen ad88f9409a *_id: add model/vendor enc strings
So ID_MODEL and ID_VENDOR are pretty useful keys. However since we fix
them up (removing leading/trailing whitespace, converts spaces to
underscores) for use in device naming etc. we also force these fixups on
the desktop shell. And this looks pretty ugly.

The attached patch introduces the ID_MODEL_ENC and ID_VENDOR_ENC keys
that contains the encoded version of the raw strings obtained. It's
pretty similar in spirit to ID_FS_LABEL and its cousin ID_FS_LABEL_ENC.

With this patch a desktop shell can fix up these strings as it sees fit.
Note that some fixup is still needed though, for example

# /lib/udev/ata_id --export /dev/sda |grep ID_MODEL

\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20

Note the trailing and leading whitespace. Anyway with the attached patch
the desktop shell should be able to display "INTEL SSDSA2MH080G1GC"
rather than "INTEL_SSDSA2MH080G1GC" to the user.

That's a good way of putting it, yeah.

Good point, I've changed that.

Done. I've also added an example.

Also, Kay pointed out offlist that the rules can be written to not
require a shell script; this actually works

        KERNEL="sr*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e"
        KERNEL="scd*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e"
        KERNEL="pcd*", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e"
        KERNEL="hd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media", RESULT="cdrom", NAME="\%k", SYMLINK="cdrom%e"
        KERNEL="fd[0-9]", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="floppy%e"
        KERNEL="hd[a-z]", PROGRAM="/bin/cat /proc/ide/%k/media", RESULT="floppy", NAME=\"%k", SYMLINK="floppy%e"

New patch is attached.

david@fubar.dk 5aebfbcb62 [PATCH] D-BUS patch for udev-008
Attached is a patch against udev-008 to send out a D-BUS message when a
device node is added or removed.

Using D-BUS lingo, udev acquires the org.kernel.udev service and sends
out a NodeCreated or NodeDeleted signal on the
org.kernel.udev.NodeMonitor interface. Each signal carries two
parameters: the node in question and the corresponding sysfs path.

[Note: the D-BUS concepts of service, interface, object can be a bit
confusing at first glance]

An example program listening for these messages looks like this

#!/usr/bin/python

import dbus
import gtk

def udev_signal_received(dbus_iface, member, service, object_path, message):
    [filename, sysfs_path] = message.get_args_list()
    if member=='NodeCreated':
        print 'Node %s created for %s'%(filename, sysfs_path)
    elif member=='NodeDeleted':
        print 'Node %s deleted for %s'%(filename, sysfs_path)

def main():
    bus = dbus.Bus(dbus.Bus.TYPE_SYSTEM)
    bus.add_signal_receiver(udev_signal_received,
                            'org.kernel.udev.NodeMonitor',  # interface
                            'org.kernel.udev',              # service
                            '/org/kernel/udev/NodeMonitor') # object

    gtk.mainloop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

and this is the output when hot-plugging some usb-storage.

[david@laptop udev-008]$ ~/node_monitor.py
Node /udev/sda created for /block/sda
Node /udev/sda1 created for /block/sda/sda1
Node /udev/sda1 deleted for /block/sda/sda1
Node /udev/sda deleted for /block/sda

The patch requires D-BUS 0.20 or later while the python example program
requires D-BUS from CVS as I only recently applied a patch against the
python bindings.
