3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andrew Vagin <redacted> commit 7b60a18da393ed70db043a777fd9e6d5363077c4 upstream. The queue handling in the udev daemon assumes that the events are ordered. Before this patch uevent_seqnum is incremented under sequence_lock, than an event is send uner uevent_sock_mutex. I want to say that code contained a window between incrementing seqnum and sending an event. This patch locks uevent_sock_mutex before incrementing uevent_seqnum. v2: delete sequence_lock, uevent_seqnum is protected by uevent_sock_mutex v3: unlock the mutex before the goto exit Thanks for Kay for the comments.
