Subject: udev: getting attributes from subdevice?
Date: Sat, 30 Jun 2012 17:15:26 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4FEF342E.2040803@ladisch.de> (raw)

Hi,

I thought it would be useful to have persistent names for FireWire
devices:

########################################################################
ACTION="remove", GOTO="persistent_firewire_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="firewire", GOTO="persistent_firewire_end"

TEST="guid", SYMLINK+="firewire/by-id/guid-$attr{guid}"

TEST="vendor_name", TEST="model_name", \
	OPTIONS="string_escape=replace", \
	SYMLINK+="firewire/by-name/$attr{vendor_name} $attr{model_name}"

LABEL="persistent_firewire_end"
########################################################################

And these rules appear to work:

$ cat /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw0/{vendor_name,model_name}
Linux Firewire
Juju
$ ls -l /dev/firewire/by-name/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2012-06-30 18:13 Linux_Firewire_Juju -> ../../fw0

However, there are devices where, due to some strange rules in the
FireWire specifications, some attributes end up belonging to a subdevice:

$ cat /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw2/{vendor_name,model_name}
LaCie
cat: /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw2/model_name: No such file or directory
$ cat /sys/bus/firewire/devices/fw2/fw2.0/model_name
Hard Drive Quadra

Okay, let's add some rules to handle this:

TEST="vendor_name", TEST!="model_name", WAIT_FOR="$kernel.0/model_name"
TEST="vendor_name", TEST!="model_name", TEST="$kernel.0/model_name", \
	OPTIONS="string_escape=replace", \
	SYMLINK+="firewire/by-name/$attr{vendor_name} $attr{$kernel.0/model_name}"

But this doesn't work, probably because $kernel is not substituted
before $attr:

$ ls -l /dev/firewire/by-name/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2012-06-30 18:13 LaCie_ -> ../../fw2

(It works if I use $attr{fw2.0/model_name}, but that isn't generic enough.)

Do I have to write a separate tool for extracting the name?


Regards,
Clemens
