These messages are a regression compared with 2.6.24, which did not flood the syslog with them. The actual underlying problem was introduced in 2.6.23, when somebody made the string parsing no longer accept nul-terminated strings as a valid input to store_uevent(). Eg. "add\0" was valid prior to 2.6.23, where the code regressed to require "add" without the '\0'. This patch fixes the 2.6.23 / 2.6.24 regressions, by having the code once again tolerate the trailing '\0', if present. According to GregKH, this mainly affects older Ubuntu systems, such as the one I have here that requires this fix.

2008-01-24Kobject: auto-cleanup on final unrefKay Sievers
We save the current state in the object itself, so we can do proper cleanup when the last reference is dropped. If the initial reference is dropped, the object will be removed from sysfs if needed, if an "add" event was sent, "remove" will be send, and the allocated resources are released. This allows us to clean up some driver core usage as well as allowing us to do other such changes to the rest of the kernel.

2007-10-12Driver core: add CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATHKay Sievers
The kernel creates a process for every event that is send, even when there is no binary it could execute. We are needlessly creating around 200-300 failing processes during early bootup, until we have the chance to disable it from userspace. This change allows us to disable /sbin/hotplug entirely, if you want to, by setting UEVENT_HELPER_PATH="" in the kernel config.

2007-10-12Driver core: change add_uevent_var to use a structKay Sievers
This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations. Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the error handling.

2007-10-10[NET]: Support multiple network namespaces with netlinkEric W. Biederman
Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace, this includes the controlling kernel sockets. This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols to only support the initial network namespace. Request by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED. As they would if the kernel did not have the support for that netlink protocol compiled in. As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces. The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation at hash table insertion and hash table look up time. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-07-30kobject: fix link error when CONFIG_HOTPLUG is disabledCornelia Huck
Leaving kobject_actions[] in kobject_uevent.c, but putting it outside the #ifdef looks indeed like the best solution to me.

Provide a function device_move() to move a device to a new parent device. Add auxilliary functions kobject_move() and sysfs_move_dir(). kobject_move() generates a new uevent of type KOBJ_MOVE, containing the previous path (DEVPATH_OLD) in addition to the usual values. For this, a new interface kobject_uevent_env() is created that allows to add further environmental data to the uevent at the kobject layer.

2006-02-22Revert mount/umount uevent removalGreg Kroah-Hartman
This change reverts the 033b96fd30db52a710d97b06f87d16fc59fee0f1 commit from Kay Sievers that removed the mount/umount uevents from the kernel. Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a new device has been mounted. These events are not correctly emitted, and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any future program. Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to properly detect this kind of event. A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this interface will be removed from the kernel.

2006-01-04[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"Kay Sievers

2006-01-04[PATCH] merge kobject_uevent and kobject_hotplugKay Sievers
The distinction between hotplug and uevent does not make sense these days, netlink events are the default. udev depends entirely on netlink uevents. Only during early boot and in initramfs, /sbin/hotplug is needed. So merge the two functions and provide only one interface without all the options. The netlink layer got a nice generic interface with named slots recently, which is probably a better facility to plug events for subsystem specific events. Also the new poll() interface to /proc/mounts is a nicer way to notify about changes than sending events through the core. The uevents should only be used for driver core related requests to userspace now. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.
