Run

dmsetup create aaa --table "0 100 zero" -vvvv
dmsetup remove aaa -vvvv

(it should work)

Then run e.g. such program in parallel:
(uevent fails and dmsetup receive "uevent not sent" taking
wrong error path)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sched.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>

#define STACK_MIN 4096

int clone_start(void* x)
{
        printf("child running...\n");
        sleep(30);

        return 0;
}

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
        char stack[STACK_MIN];
        int waitpid_status;
        int clone_flags =3D SIGCHLD | CLONE_NEWNET;

        pid_t pid =3D clone(clone_start, stack + STACK_MIN, clone_flags, (v=
oid *) argv);
        if (pid =3D=3D -1) {
                printf("clone()\n");
                exit(1);
        }

        printf("waiting for pid: %d ...\n", (int) pid);
        pid =3D waitpid(pid, &waitpid_status, 0);
        if (pid < 0) {
                printf("waitpid()\n");
                exit(1);
        }

        return 0;
}
