In simple terms: - udev takes over full responsibility for creating nodes [this will probably be a ./configure option] - udev provides interface we use to wait until it has finished processing all the outstanding requests we sent it. Key point is that our udev requests appear in batches, then we wait for the batch to complete, as when the system is under memory pressure, udev userspace may find itself blocked processing the first of the batch until just before we issue the wait at the end of the batch. [Note how libdevmapper today pushes all the requests onto an internal stack and processes them all together at the end.] Alasdair -- agk@xxxxxxxxxx -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
