This is the new approach to uevent filtering as discussed (see the
threads in [1], [2], and [3]). It only contains *non-functional
changes*.
This series deals with with fixing up uevent filtering logic:
- uevent filtering logic is simplified
- locking time on uevent_sock_list is minimized
- tagged and untagged kobjects are handled in separate codepaths
- permissions for userspace are fixed for network device uevents in
network namespaces owned by non-initial user namespaces
Udev is now able to see those events correctly which it wasn't before.
For example, moving a physical device into a network namespace not
owned by the initial user namespaces before gave:
root@xen1:~# udevadm --debug monitor -k
calling: monitor
monitor will print the received events for:
KERNEL - the kernel uevent
