They are in no specific +order. We will gladly accept patches for any of these items: -greg k-h -greg@kroah.com +- Completely replace the built-in wait_for_sysfs stuff in udev_sysfs.c + by rules using the WAIT_FOR_SYSFS key. +- Log the relationship of the kernel name and the persistent disk name + to syslog, so any error logged from the kernel can be associated with + any of the links at that time. -- add modifiers and more documentation about the config file to the man - page. -- add ability to capture CALLOUT result and use it in a device name. -- fix kernel name logic to handle devices like sdaj and such. -- make real test harness and have the tests be automated (instead of - relying on me knowing what the proper files should be created.) -- more documentation (can never have too much.) -- document the config file format (it will change over time...) -- add symlink generation and removal support -- better partition support (it's a hack right now, maybe new libsysfs changes - can help out a lot here.) -- allow database to be queried by other programs -- split program into two pieces (daemon and helper that sends events to it). - This will allow us to keep track of sequences, and lots of other needed - stuff. -- keep track of current permissions on devices when daemon shuts down. -- better permission handling -- create kernel name to devfs name config file so that all of the devfs users - will have an upgrade path. -- do early boot logic (putting udev into initramfs, handle pivot-root, - etc.) -- add hooks to call D-BUS when new node is created or removed -- lots of other stuff... -- actually use the BUS= value to determine where the LABEL rule should look - (right now it's ignored, and we only look in the current sysfs directory.) - This is needed, for example, to look at the usb device's serial number of a - usb-storage device, instead of the scsi device's sysfs directory for the - serial number.
