Android UEVENT

 一、启动

ueventd在init.rc（@/system/core/rootdir)中启动.

on early-init

    ... ...

    start ueventd

/sbin/ueventd是/init的link，故最终执行的是/init。其代码如下：@/system/init/init.c

    if (!strcmp(basename(argv[0]), "ueventd"))
        return ueventd_main(argc, argv);

 二、代码分析

int ueventd_main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    struct pollfd ufd;
    int nr;
    char tmp[32];

        /* Prevent fire-and-forget children from becoming zombies.
         * If we should need to wait() for some children in the future
         * (as opposed to none right now), double-forking here instead
         * of ignoring SIGCHLD may be the better solution.
         */
    signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN);

    open_devnull_stdio();  //创建并打开"/dev/__kmsg__",将stdin/stdout/stderr三个文件重定向到 "/dev/__null__"
    klog_init();   //创建并打开"/dev/__kmsg__" 虚拟设备用于记录log

    INFO("starting ueventd\n");

    /* Respect hardware passed in through the kernel cmd line. Here we will look
     * for androidboot.hardware param in kernel cmdline, and save its value in
     * hardware[]. */
    import_kernel_cmdline(0, import_kernel_nv); //解析kernel commandline，从中查找hardware

    get_hardware_name(hardware, &revision); //从/proc/cupinfo中获取hardware

    ueventd_parse_config_file("/ueventd.rc"); //解析.rc设置

    snprintf(tmp, sizeof(tmp), "/ueventd.%s.rc", hardware);
    ueventd_parse_config_file(tmp);

    device_init(); //如果coldboot尚未完成，完成之(触发/sys/classes /sys/block /sys/devices中设备add uevent,并处理

    ufd.events = POLLIN;
    ufd.fd = get_device_fd();

    while(1) {
        ufd.revents = 0;
        nr = poll(&ufd, 1, -1); //poll uevent
        if (nr <= 0)
            continue;
        if (ufd.revents == POLLIN)
               handle_device_fd(); 
    }
}

收到uevent, 创建/删除相应的设备文件(/dev/xxx)和link (/sys/xxx).
