init/ueventd: adds wildcard matching for ueventd rules
The sysfs nodes can change from devices to devices for
a particular class of peripheral. Some of them even change
after suspend/resume, e.g. rfkill for USB bluetooth adapters.
This patch adds to the way how ueventd rules with wildcard are
handled. In addition to matching the prefix with a trailing
wildcard, now rules can have wildcard anywhere in the rule.
The wildcard matching is implemented using fnmatch(), where
its matching is simliar to shell pathname expansion. It suits
this particular usage model well. To avoid abuse, the number of
slashes has to match between path name and the rule.
For example, instead of creating a rule to match:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.3/2-1.3:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/rfkill*
, this would suffice:
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/*/*/*/*/bluetooth/hci0/rfkill*
The prefix matching behavior is retained, such that those
rules do not have to pay for processing penalty with fnmatch().
