uevent: send events in correct order according to seqnum (v3)
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.
