After all it is now much more like strjoin() than strappend(). At the
same time, add support for NULL sentinels, even if they are normally not
necessary.
This is not exposed in the public API. We want to simplify the internal libudev-device API as much as possible
so that it will be simpler to rip the whole thing out in the future.
If the format string contains %m, clearly errno must have a meaningful
value, so we might as well use log_*_errno to have ERRNO= logged.
Using:
find . -name '*.[ch]' | xargs sed -r -i -e \
's/log_(debug|info|notice|warning|error|emergency)\((".*%m.*")/log_\1_errno(errno, \2/'
Plus some whitespace, linewrap, and indent adjustments.
When used in an initramfs, it's expected that the hwdb.bin file is
not present (it makes for a very large initramfs otherwise).
While it's nice to tell the user about this, as it's not strictly
speaking an error we really shouldn't be so forceful in our
reporting.
The term "priority" is misleading because higher levels have lower
priority. "Level" is clearer and shorter.
This commit touches only the textual descriptions, not function and variable
names themselves. "Priority" is used in various command-line switches and
protocol constants, so completly getting rid of "priority" is hard.
I also left "priority" in various places where the clarity suffered
when it was removed.
In some cases it is preferable to ship system images with a pre-generated
binary hwdb database, to avoid having to build it at runtime, avoid shipping
the source hwdb files, or avoid storing large binary files in /etc.
So if hwdb.bin does not exist in /etc/udev/, fall back to looking for it in
UDEVLIBEXECDIR. This keeps the possibility to add files to /etc/udev/hwdb.d/
and re-generating the database which trumps the one in /usr/lib.
Add a new --usr flag to "udevadm hwdb --update" which puts the database
into UDEVLIBEXECDIR.
Adjust systemd-udev-hwdb-update.service to not generate the file in /etc if we
already have it in /usr.
If a device does not have a major/minor number attached, we use different
database names than if it does. On "change" events, we didn't copy the
devnum over, therefore, we used different paths than on 'add' or 'remove'
events (where devnum was properly copied).
Fix this by always copying the devnum into the udev-device.

This extends the udev parser to support OP_REMOVE (-=) and adds support
for TAG-= to remove previously set tags. We don't fail if the tag didn't
exist.
This is pretty handy if we ship default rules for seat-assignments and
users want to exclude specific devices from that. They can easily add
rules that drop any automatically added "seat" tags again.
We have a bunch of reports from people who have a custom kernel and
are confused why udev is not running. Issue a warning on
error. Barring an error in the code, the only error that is possible
is ENOSYS.

Cases where name_to_handle_at is used allocated the full struct to be
MAX_HANDLE_SZ, and assigned this size to handle_bytes. This is wrong
since handle_bytes should describe the length of the flexible array
member and not the whole struct.
Define a union type which includes sufficient padding to allow
assignment of MAX_HANDLE_SZ to be correct.
The way the kernel namespaces have been implemented breaks assumptions
udev made regarding uevent sequence numbers. Creating devices in a
namespace "steals" uevents and its sequence numbers from the host. It
confuses the "udevadmin settle" logic, which might block until util a
timeout is reached, even when no uevent is pending.
Remove any assumptions about sequence numbers and deprecate libudev's
API exposing these numbers; none of that can reliably be used anymore
when namespaces are involved.
