Hi Martin, sorry, the code in the tree doesn't work. I decided to try pthreads, cause I gave up with the I/O multiplexing, forking and earning SIGCHLDS for manipulating the global lists.
The multithreaded udevd takes multiple events at the same time on a unix domain socket, sorts it in a linked list and handles the timeouts if events are missing. It executes our current udev in the background and delays the execution for events with the same DEVPATH. So we serialize the events only for different devices.
I've posted the latest patch to the list a few minutes ago. If you like, I'm happy to hear from your testing :)
If we decide not to stay with the threads model, cause klibc doesn't support it now and ..., we at least have a working model to implement in a different way.
thanks, Kay
