From: Dexuan Cui <decui@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> hv_sock driver is automatically loaded when an application creates an AF_VSOCK socket, so we don't really need to trigger uevents to the user space udevd. And hv_sock devices can appear and disappear frequency, e.g. 100 per second, so triggering the udevents can cause a high cpu utilization of udevd, e.g. 30% on a 2-cpu virtual machine. So let's suppress the uevents to avoid this. Signed-off-by: Dexuan Cui <decui@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: K. Y.
