From 20a3262cd756aadf8771969a4764cd3c571f0a3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denys Vlasenko Date: Wed, 7 Sep 2016 14:09:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mdev: create devices from /sys/dev Currently some new devices that have a bus but no class will be missed by mdev coldplug device creation after boot. This happens because mdev recursively searches /sys/class which will by definition only find class devices. Some important devices such as iio and gpiochip does not have a class. But users will need them. This switches from using /sys/class as the place to look for devices to create to using /sys/dev where all char and block devices are listed. The subsystem lookup code that provide the G.subsystem environment variable is changed from using the directory name of the class device to instead dereference the "subsystem" symlink for the device, and look at the last element of the path of the symlink for the subsystem, which will work with class devices and bus devices alike. (The new bus-only devices only symlink to the /sys/bus/* hierarchy.) We delete the legacy kernel v2.6.2x /sys/block device path code as part of this change. It's too old to be kept alive. Tested on kernel v4.6-rc2 with a bunch of devices, including some IIO and gpiochip devices. With a print inserted before make_device() the log looks like so: Create device from "/sys/dev/char/1:1", subsystem "mem" Create device from "/sys/dev/char/1:2", subsystem "mem" Create device from "/sys/dev/char/1:3", subsystem "mem" Create device from "/sys/dev/char/1:5", subsystem "mem" (...) Create device from "/sys/dev/block/179:56", subsystem "block" Create device from "/sys/dev/block/179:64", subsystem "block" function old new delta mdev_main 1388 1346 -42 dirAction 134 14 -120 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-162) Total: -162 bytes Cc: Isaac Dunham Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: Jonathan Cameron Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko --- util-linux/mdev.c | 88 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------------- 1 file changed, 41 insertions(+), 47 deletions(-) diff --git a/util-linux/mdev.c b/util-linux/mdev.c index 37514eb..a59115d 100644 --- a/util-linux/mdev.c +++ b/util-linux/mdev.c @@ -543,8 +543,7 @@ static char *build_alias(char *alias, const char *device_name) /* mknod in /dev based on a path like "/sys/block/hda/hda1" * NB1: path parameter needs to have SCRATCH_SIZE scratch bytes - * after NUL, but we promise to not mangle (IOW: to restore NUL if needed) - * path string. + * after NUL, but we promise to not mangle it (IOW: to restore NUL if needed). * NB2: "mdev -s" may call us many times, do not leak memory/fds! * * device_name = $DEVNAME (may be NULL) @@ -810,41 +809,39 @@ static void make_device(char *device_name, char *path, int operation) } /* for (;;) */ } -/* File callback for /sys/ traversal */ +/* File callback for /sys/ traversal. + * We act only on "/sys/.../dev" (pseudo)file + */ static int FAST_FUNC fileAction(const char *fileName, struct stat *statbuf UNUSED_PARAM, void *userData, int depth UNUSED_PARAM) { size_t len = strlen(fileName) - 4; /* can't underflow */ - char *scratch = userData; - - /* len check is for paranoid reasons */ - if (strcmp(fileName + len, "/dev") != 0 || len >= PATH_MAX) - return FALSE; - - strcpy(scratch, fileName); - scratch[len] = '\0'; - make_device(/*DEVNAME:*/ NULL, scratch, OP_add); - - return TRUE; -} - -/* Directory callback for /sys/ traversal */ -static int FAST_FUNC dirAction(const char *fileName UNUSED_PARAM, - struct stat *statbuf UNUSED_PARAM, - void *userData UNUSED_PARAM, - int depth) -{ - /* Extract device subsystem -- the name of the directory - * under /sys/class/ */ - if (1 == depth) { + char *path = userData; /* char array[PATH_MAX + SCRATCH_SIZE] */ + char subsys[PATH_MAX]; + int res; + + /* Is it a ".../dev" file?
