I tried enabling waiting for sequence numbers by echoing a newline to /dev/mdev.seq, however I noticed there are situations where that does not work properly either.
Yes, it's the classic sequentiality problem. The userspace cannot guarantee that mdev #526 will take the lock before #527. If you want guaranteed sequentiality, you need to run a netlink reader. There have been several discussions on this list in the last month about how to do that. Currently, you can grab Alpine Linux's "nldev", or s6-linux-utils' "s6-devd", and run "nldev mdev" or "s6-devd mdev" as a daemon, which will do what you want. More discussion is on the way about adding that functionality to busybox. -- Laurent _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
