udev-cache: stop race between sysconf and cache generation
The validity of the udev cache is determined by the sysconf file (/etc/udev/cache.data). Currently, there is a substantial delay between sysconf generation in /etc/init.d/udev and cache generation in /etc/init.d/udev-cache. If a hotplug event arrives in the middle of this, then the sysconf will be out of date with respect to the cache. The solution is two-pronged. First, we minimize the race window by regenerating the sysconf immediately before the cache, in /etc/init.d/udev-cache. This allows us to kill the race entirely by stopping the udev event queue while the sysconf and cache are being generated. Signed-off-by: Richard Tollerton <rich.tollerton@ni.com>
