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. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.34 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages udev depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.32 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.10.2-9 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libselinux1 2.0.94-1 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-14 userspace USB programming library ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii util-linux 2.17.2-2 Miscellaneous system utilities Versions of packages udev recommends: ii pciutils 1:3.1.7-3 Linux PCI Utilities ii usbutils 0.87-1+b1 Linux USB utilities udev suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf changed [not included] -- debconf information: udev/new_kernel_needed: false udev/title/upgrade: udev/reboot_needed: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
