PATCH 1/1 udevd: fix WAIT_FOR_SYSFS

The wait should be ordered after matching KERNEL, ENV, etc. but before ATTR.

Without this, WAIT_FOR_SYSFS rules will be applied unconditionally to all events.

The wait should be ordered after matching KERNEL, ENV, etc. but before ATTR.

Without this, WAIT_FOR_SYSFS rules will be applied unconditionally to all events.

Ah, nice! Thanks for finding that out. I do not have any of theses rules left, as there are currently no know issues with recent kernels. :) Applied.

Oh, now that I expect it works for you without the long delay. :) How does is compare? Is it still slower?

No, that fixed it. The network interface rename problem seems to have gone as well (!).

I just tested it on my desktop. oprofile says it now _reduces_ cpu cycles in udevd by 10%. Not big enough to show up in time(1), but not bad! And it should help more on the EeePC, which has a less lavish cpu cache.

Sounds good. I've changed a few other things, which might make things faster:

We cache the results of getpwnam/getgrnam() during rules parse time, some of the rules files I have here have ~700 rules with GROUP="..." keys ...

We check at parse time, if we need to call fnmatch() for a key, or can just go with the much cheaper strcmp(). That seems to make a real difference with the large rules files I have.

Also the snprintf() that was used compose the buffer to pass the event to a socket was _very_ expensive. We just use strlcpy() now and cache the result for the next RUN+="socket:" call.

Thanks,
Kay

I might adapt that for udev-exec.

But I think it needs a flag like envp_uptodate, no?

And for bonus points...

udev_device_get_properties_envp() could return pointers into this buffer, instead of allocating individual strings on the heap.

It uses monitor_buf_len, which is reset to 0, if a property gets changed. Is that what you mean?

Yeah, we can do this, sounds like a nice idea, to compose the buffer and envp at the same time. Will look into it next, if you don't beat me. :)

Sneaky. Yes, that's what I was looking for.
