Except that the current defaults are inconsistent and there is no
explanation anywhere in the logs when this is screwed up.

So what is wrong with my 'fail in udev immediately if not configured' idea? In that case it
doesn't matter whether CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER is set or not.

You could even print a useful message for the user in udev to the log, so they have an idea of what
happened. Breaking udev on older still supported kernels by default without printing any debug info
is silly, and the only cost is a small increase in disk space when unused. I did so in below patch.

~Maarten

I converted < ELEMENTSOF to != ELEMENTSOF in the loop to work correctly when the array is empty.
Most code in udev-builtin-firmware is eliminated at -O2 optimization level when FIRMWARE_PATH
is not explicitly set.

This and I guess:
SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ACTION=="add", ATTR{loading}="-1"
would also just cancel the request at the same time without any other
code needed.

The udev firmware support just a configure option, just like the
kernel has them. So distributions should enable it in udev and the
kernel if they need it.

We simply cannot coordinate the defaults of systemd and the kernel
because the rules of the kernel are different. The kernel does "keep
defaults like stuff has been in the past" and udev does "make default
what makes the most sense on current systems".

The proper fix is that userspace firmware should be disabled in the
kernel for new systems, and kept enabled only for old systems. Old
systems need to enable a new udev version to support firmware loading.

There are currently broken in-kernel mis-users of the firmware
interface that use the firmware interface but disable uevents, they
still pull-in the user interface of the firmware loader. If nobody
wants to fix them, the code for the common users of the firmware
loader should at least get rid of the userspace fallback to call out
to userspace. At that point the udev configure option would not matter
any more.

Right, I think all is fine. It's something that people can control
with the kernel and udev configuration options. It's just that the
defaults of the kernel and udev don't match at the moment, because
they have different policies of setting default values.

Seems reasonable to me. It might be worth adding something to the
message to suggest turning off CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER.
