Subject[PATCH] uevent: send events in correct order according to seqnum
Date

The queue handling in the udev daemon assumes that the events are
ordered.

Before this patch uevent_seqnum is incremented under sequence_lock,
than an event is send uner uevent_sock_mutex. I want to say that code
contained a window between incrementing seqnum and sending an event.

This patch locks uevent_sock_mutex before incrementing uevent_seqnum.
