The nvme by-id symlink changes to the latest namespace when a new namespace gets
added, for example by connecting multiple NVMe/TCP host controllers via nvme
connect-all.
That is incorrect for persistent device links.
The persistent symbolic device link should continue to point to the same NVMe
namespace throughout the lifetime of the current boot.
Therefore the namespace id needs to be added to the link name.
This adds symlinks that allow accessing loopback block devices via stable
names that reference their backing block devices, make the unpredictable
naming of loopback devices less of an issue.
Example:
1. Create a loopback block device for a file $F
losetup --find $F
2. Reference the backing block device via its inode:
L="$(stat -c '/dev/loop/by-inode/%Hd:%Ld-%i' $F)"
fdisk $L
In the above the loop device name (which might be /dev/loop47 or any
other name) is not used at all.
When built without blkid, then udev-builtin-blkid is not built,
and the verifier warns about the unknown builtin:
60-persistent-storage.rules:114 Unknown builtin command: blkid --hint=session_offset=$env{ID_CDROM_MEDIA_SESSION_LAST_OFFSET}
60-persistent-storage.rules:117 Unknown builtin command: blkid --noraid
60-persistent-storage.rules:120 Unknown builtin command: blkid
60-persistent-storage.rules: udev rules check failed
We would execute up to four hwdb match patterns (+ the keyboard builtin):
After the first hit, we would skip the other patterns, because of the GOTO="evdev_end"
action.
57bb707d48 (rules: Add extended evdev/input match
rules for event nodes with the same name), added an additional match with
":phys:<phys>:ev:<ev>" inserted. This breaks backwards compatibility for user
hwdb patterns, because we quit after the first match.
In general hwdb properties are "additive". We often have a general rule that
matches a wider class and then some specific overrides. E.g. in this particular
case, we have a match for all trackpoints, and then a bunch of model-specific
settings.
So let's change the rules to try all the match patterns and combine the
received properties. We execute builtin-keyboard once at the end, if there was
at least one match.
Fixes#25698. Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2152226.
This also impacts other cases which I think would be very confusing for users.
Since we quit after a first successful match, if we had e.g. a match for
'evdev:input:b*v*p*' in out database, and the user added a match using
'evdev:name:*', which is the approach we document in the .hwdb files and which
users quite often use, it would be silently ignored. What's worse, if we added
our 'evdev:input:b*v*p*' match at a later point, user's match would stop
working. If we combine all the properties, we get more stable behaviour.
After 479da1107a, the usb_id builtin
command does not set ID_SERIAL if ID_BUS is already set.
Before the commit, all properties set based on pci bus were overwritten
by the usb_id, hence now it is sufficient setting them only when ID_BUS is
not set yet.
Fixes#25238.
Previously, ata_id might not be able to retrieve attributes correctly,
and properties from usb_id were used as a fallback. See issue #24921
and PR #24923. To keep backward compatibility, still we need to create
symlinks based on USB serial.
Fixes#25179.
If no module name is provided, then try to load modules based on the
device modealias.
Previously, MODALIAS property is passed as an argument, but it may
contain quotation. Hence, unfortunately the modalias may be modified
and cannot load expected modules.
Fixes#24715.
The uverbs devices are sequentially numbered and are not guarranteed to
stay stable across reboot.
At least one good person was disappointed by this, because they couldn't
find their device: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2036515
Let's add a few helpful links.
If multipath feature is enabled, nvme block devices may belong to the
"nvme-subsystem" subsystem, instead of "nvme" subsystem.
(What a confusing name...)
Then, the syspath is something like the following,
/sys/devices/virtual/nvme-subsystem/nvme-subsys0/nvme0n1
Hence, we need to find the 'real parent' device, such as
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.4/0000:3c:00.0/nvme/nvme0
Fixes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2031810.

Replaces #24748.
We can't get any FS meta-data from a suspended device. Hence defer
making any plugged/unplugged decisions, i.e. we just import whatever was
previous state and skip processing all other rules.
Thanks Lennart Poettering <lennart@poettering.net> for suggesting this
solution.
The cros-ec-accel devices report their mounting location by the 'label'
sysfs file only since Linux v6.0. With earlier kernels, a nonstandard
'location' file reports this, but slightly differently (lid instead of
display) [1].
Add udev rules to import the correct hwdb entries based on this
'location' file for cros-ec-accel devices, so that the base-mounted
accel matrix has the correct value for older kernels as well.

The IIO subsystem exposes a 'label' sysfs file to help userspace better
identify its devices [1]. Standardized labels include the sensor type
along with its location, including 'accel-base' and 'accel-display'.
Most Chrome OS boards have two accelerometers that are indistinguishable
except for this label (or a 'location' sysfs file before Linux v6.0),
and need different mounting matrix corrections based on their location.
Add a udev rule that matches hwdb entries using this label, so we can
correct both accelerometers on these devices with hwdb entries. The
existing rules and hwdb entries are not modified to keep potential
out-of-tree entries working, but new entries in this form will override
existing ones. Also add currently standardized labels to parse-hwdb.py.

This can be useful for users of slow block devices.
For example, the persistent-storage rules are needed for USB floppy
drives be recognized by udisks2, but the extra blkid calls cause
thrashing for 25+ seconds after every disk change.
With this change, a user wishing to avoid the extra blkid invocation(s)
could create /etc/udev/rules.d/55-floppy-noprobe.rules as follows:
# Don't probe PC floppy drives
SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="fd*", \
ENV{UDEV_DISABLE_PERSISTENT_STORAGE_BLKID_FLAG}="1"
# Don't probe USB floppy drives
SUBSYSTEM=="block", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", \
ATTRS{bInterfaceClass}=="08", ATTRS{bInterfaceSubClass}=="04", \
ENV{UDEV_DISABLE_PERSISTENT_STORAGE_BLKID_FLAG}="1"
I didn't exclude floppies by default in this change, because floppy
devices are also emulated by some BIOSes/hypervisors in some cases, and
I don't know how many systems would fail to boot if /dev/disk/by-uuid/*
became unavailable for 'floppy disks' on those systems.
