Package: udev
Version: 154-1
Severity: normal

After switching to dependency based boot, I see one of thr udevd 
instances taking 100% CPU time.  

In this state, strace shows:

ioctl(6, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, 
{fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 5, 3000) = 1 ([{fd=6, 
revents=POLLIN}])
ioctl(6, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, 
{fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 5, 3000) = 1 ([{fd=6, 
revents=POLLIN}])
ioctl(6, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, 
{fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 5, 3000) = 1 ([{fd=6, 
revents=POLLIN}])
ioctl(6, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
poll([{fd=4, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, 
{fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}], 5, 3000) = 1 ([{fd=6, 
revents=POLLIN}])

forever.

# udevadm monitor --property
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
KERNEL - the kernel uevent

gives no more output.

There are 86 instances of udev running.
# ps ax | grep udev | wc -l
86

All except the one using 100% CPU have the --daemon flag.

Doing
  sudo sh /etc/init.d/udev restart
fixes the problem.
