Hi,
I'm currently running ubuntu 18.04 with a 4.15 kernel and i can observe very 
high cpu usage to the  systemd-udevd deamon.

removing the rule :
ATTR{bInterfaceClass}=="03", ATTR{bInterfaceSubClass}=="01", 
ATTR{bInterfaceProtocol}=="02", \
  ATTRS{bDeviceClass}=="00", ATTRS{idVendor}=="413c", 
ATTRS{bmAttributes}=="e0", \
  RUN+="hid2hci --method=dell --devpath=%p", ENV{HID2HCI_SWITCH}="1"

Solved the high CPU usage eventhough my bluetooth card is not available
anymore (as not in hci mode)

It seems that the command hid2hci creates a bind/unbind loop in udev
that is looping trying to set the device in hci mode. (that what udevadm
monitor seems to show, looping from bind to unbind for the device)

I suspect a0085f2510e8976614ad8f766b209448b385492f introduced a
regression (i have not tried to revert it yet).

Please not that there also seem to be a bug in hid2hci.c from bluez l148 :
        if (err == 0) {
                err = -1;
                errno = EALREADY;
        }
Correcting this and recompile bluez desn't solve the issue as cpu usage remains 
very high.

Using a 4.13 kernel result in a normal CPU usage, this seems a
regression in 4.14.

Other people seems to have the same issue, here is a bug report related to this 
:

Thanks a lot for your support,

Editing of 97-hid2hci.rules is not a solution.

Only surefire way of getting bluetooth back and working with kernels
>=4.14, was to revert the bogus kernel commit that added the bind/unbind
uevents.

I also observed in my Dell laptop similar to Szymon that it relates to
Touchpad.

My workarounds-
Soon after booting, stopping and starting systed-udev eliminates all bind and 
unbind problems and response drastically improves. I used the following 
commands in sequence-

sudo systemctl stop systemd-udevd systemd-udevd-kernel.socket systemd-
udevd-control.socket

sudo systemctl start systemd-udevd systemd-udevd-kernel.socket systemd-
udevd-control.socket

My understanding-
Before all hardware is discovered properly, bind/unbind start executing when no 
procedures are available and does not get reinitialized. After stopping and 
starting, it gets all the procedures in place. Probably, it is booting sequence 
problem.

Same here. I used the commands from Szymon to find out what was going on and 
got the Synaptics Touchpad, too.

The workaround by Y S Gupta works like a charm. Put it in a startup
script and everything is ok. THANK YOU!

When I boot up every day without exception, my machine starts up with
one of the CPU cores running at 100%. I see lots of posts on other
forums (Unbuntu  etc) going back over a year or more blaming touchpads
or nvidia or WiFi. Some even say they can't use their thumb drive if it
isn't plugged in when they boot. The problem also mimics a defective
thumb drive where you plug it in and Ubuntu doesn't see it (because
systemd-udevd doesn't have the cycles to process the newly plugged in
USB device). Losing one core makes my machine slower but not too
noticeably so. I do see much longer boot times and sometime it will hang
entirely during boot. I assume a single core or dual core machine will
be drastically slowed down or even unusable. When I search I find other
non-ubuntu os's complaining about similar problems.

I have 18.10 running on my Dell studio XPS with an AMD® Phenom(tm) ii x4
945 processor × 4 and AMD® Juniper graphics. It's a quad-core 64 bit
machine. I have wireless mouse and keyboard for Logitech. I have a
pretty vanilla set-up. I DO NOT have a touchpad or nvidia or WiFi!

I can verify that the problem can be managed by stopping and starting
systemd-udevd. I used the following commands, suggested in this bug
report, in sequence in the terminal which corrects the problem until I
boot again.

sudo systemctl stop systemd-udevd systemd-udevd-kernel.socket systemd-
udevd-control.socket

sudo systemctl start systemd-udevd systemd-udevd-kernel.socket systemd-
udevd-control.socket

Also the problem will "sometimes" re-appear by plugging in a thumb
drive!

This is a serious kernel problem and can manifest its presence in a
number of ways depending on your hardware configuration.

This is a very very very annoying problem will someone PLEASE fix it
soon! ...did I mention that this is a serious problem impacting many
people!

An update: The problem I reported in January went away on its own after
a few weeks of having the problem every single day when I booted each
morning. I was installing Ubuntu software updates when they became
available during that time. There is something going on during boot that
causes this problem.

"my speculation" is that I suspect a timing issue with the way things
are initialized during boot up that leads to the problem. Some strange
timing issue is occurring which causes systemd-udevd to fall into an
infinite loop (continuously looking for something or to be notified
about an action completion) and drive one of the processor cores to
100%. When a new kernel was installed or something was done to change
initialization activity during boot the problem went away because the
timing problem that created it was changed. I believe that some kind of
race condition may be at the root of the problem.

>From my earlier search on the problem symptoms, it seems that when
systemd-udevd isn't working correctly you can get numerous confusing
symptoms that mysteriously go away when the something changes timing
conditions during boot. Since the problem is in the kernel then it
effects other systems besides Ubuntu.

from "Florian Dittmer (fd81)"


"
Following the instructions mentioned by one user in the comments helped me to 
solve the cpu load issue with udev-239 and kernel 4.18.17, while Bluetooth 
still works.

Run the following command:

/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd -D

This should print garbage in endless loop containing
".../97-hid2hci.rules:"

If so, edit /lib/udev/rules.d/97-hid2hci.rules

and add

ACTION=="add",

in front of line mentioned by above command.

In my case, I had to change the following lines in 97-hid2hci.rules
from:

ATTR{bInterfaceClass}=="03", ATTR{bInterfaceSubClass}=="01", 
ATTR{bInterfaceProtocol}=="02", \
  ATTRS{bDeviceClass}=="00", ATTRS{idVendor}=="413c", 
ATTRS{bmAttributes}=="e0", \
  RUN+="hid2hci --method=dell --devpath=%p", ENV{HID2HCI_SWITCH}="1"

to:

ACTION=="add", ATTR{bInterfaceClass}=="03", ATTR{bInterfaceSubClass}=="01", 
ATTR{bInterfaceProtocol}=="02", \
  ATTRS{bDeviceClass}=="00", ATTRS{idVendor}=="413c", 
ATTRS{bmAttributes}=="e0", \
  RUN+="hid2hci --method=dell --devpath=%p", ENV{HID2HCI_SWITCH}="1"

And this fixed the issue (after reboot).
