[PATCH v3 0/8] Mdmonitor refactor and udev event handling improvements

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Along the way we observed many problems with current approach to event handling in mdmonitor.
It frequently doesn't report Fail and DeviceDisappeared events.
It's due to time races with udev, and too long delay in some cases.
While there was a patch intending to address time races with udev, it didn't remove them completely.
This patch series presents alternative approach, where mdmonitor wakes up on udev events, so that
there should be no more conflicts with udev we saw before.

Additionally some code quality improvements were done, to make the code more maintainable.

v2:
Fixed mismatched comment style and rebased onto master.

v3:
Resend to cleanup on patchwork.

Mateusz Grzonka (8):
  Mdmonitor: Make alert_info global
  Mdmonitor: Pass events to alert() using enums instead of strings
  Mdmonitor: Add helper functions
  Add helpers to determine whether directories or files are soft links
  Mdmonitor: Refactor write_autorebuild_pid()
  Mdmonitor: Refactor check_one_sharer() for better error handling
  Mdmonitor: Improve udev event handling
  udev: Move udev_block() and udev_unblock() into udev.c
