Udev rules: use match (==) rather than assign (=) for PROGRAM
Assignment syntax (=) can be used for the PROGRAM key. But the PROGRAM
key is really a match key, not an assign key. The internal logic used by
udev to decide whether a PROGRAM key "matched" or not (which determines
whether the remainder of the rule is evaluated) depends on whether the
operator was OP_MATCH (==) or OP_NOMATCH (!=). [1]
The man page claims that '"=", ":=", and "+=" have the same effect as
"=="' for PROGRAM keys. And, after a brief perusal, the udev source code
does seem to confirm that operators other than OP_MATCH (==) or
OP_NOMATCH (!=) are implicitly converted to OP_MATCH (==). [2] But it's
not entirely clear that this is definitely the case: anecdotal testing
seems to indicate that when OP_ASSIGN (=) is used, the program's exit
status is disregarded and the remainder of the rule is processed
regardless of whether it was, in fact, a successful exit.
The bottom line here is that, if zvol_id hits some snag and returns a
nonzero exit status, then we almost certainly do NOT want to continue on
with the rule and use whatever the stdout contents may have been to
mindlessly create /dev/zvol/* symlinks. Therefore, let's be extra-sure
and use the match (==) operator explicitly, to eliminate any possibility
that udev might do the wrong thing, and ensure that a nonzero exit
status will definitely short-circuit the rest of the rule, bypassing the
SYMLINK+= assignments.
