[dm-devel] [PATCH 01/30] multipath: bind lifetime of udev context to main thread

Hannes Reinecke hare at suse.de
Tue Jul 16 07:12:52 UTC 2013


We have to tie the lifetime of the udev context to the thread
or program. The current approach by creating it on config_load()
will invalidate the context during reconfiguration, thereby
causing all still existent objects to refer to an invalid pointer.
And resulting in a nice crash.
