The kernel will _never_ send two messages with the same sequence. This case is really pathological and affects only _your_ testing setup. It has _nothing_ to do with the real world. > Is it not necessary for udevd to check whether the incoming > sequence number has existed:-) Is this a question? Sure it's neccessary. How will you reorder incoming sequences without remembering the number of the last handled sequence? Maybe I don't get your point?
