udevd - allow to bypass sequence number
PATCH 1/1 udevd - allow to bypass sequence number
This patch allows udevsend to be called by the user and not only by the kernel with its SEQNUM. If no SEQNUM is given, we move the event straight to the exec queue and don't look if something is missing.
I don't know if this is really needed, but some people seem trying to send events trough udevd instead of calling udev directly with their scripts and confuse the reorder logic with that.
So at least, we may remove this source of confusion and udevsend is much much faster back than udev itself and it will also block concurrent events for the same devpath.
thanks,
Kay
