path_id: reintroduce by-path links for virtio block devices
Enumeration of virtio buses is global and hence non-deterministic. However, we are guaranteed there is never going to be more than one virtio bus per parent PCI device. While populating ID_PATH we simply skip virtio part of the syspath and we extend the path using the sysname of the parent PCI device. With this patch udev creates following by-path links for virtio-blk device /dev/vda which contains two partitions. ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 9 10:47 virtio-pci-0000:00:05.0 -> ../../vda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 9 10:47 virtio-pci-0000:00:05.0-part1 -> ../../vda1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 9 10:47 virtio-pci-0000:00:05.0-part2 -> ../../vda2 See: http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/virtualization/2015-August/030328.html Fixes systemd#2501 Cherry-picked from: f073b1b Resolves: #952567
