Public bug reported:
The udev initramfs-tools boot script does not trigger subsystem "add"
uevents. As a result, udev rules that listen to subsystem "add" events
are never activated. This problem exists on at least Ubuntu 16.04 and
17.10.
On s390, this results in a boot failure if the kernel is configured to
start with an active device black list (kernel parameter
cio_ignore=all,!condev). An example for an affected udev rule looks like
this:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="subsystem", KERNEL=="ccw",
RUN{program}+="/bin/sh -c 'echo free 0009,ec30,ec32,f5f0-f5f2 >
/proc/cio_ignore'"
A proposed fix would be:
Modify /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/udev:
Replace line
udevadm trigger --action=add
with
udevadm trigger --type=subsystems --action=add
udevadm trigger --type=devices --action=add
This would also be consistent with the steps that the systemd udev
coldplug unit file performs (see /lib/systemd/system/systemd-udev-
trigger.service).
