Hi, as it's quite a bit of effort to actually verify this without much knowlegde about the structure of udev: Could it happen that util_create_path() and util_delete_path() do run in parallel for the same directory? After all, util_create_path() does handle the case where creation of the directory happens in parallel to it running, so it doesn't seem all that unlikely to me ...
