rsdl 30 on 2.6.20.2 breaks user space usb

[Andreas Jellinghaus]

with plain 2.6.20.2 I get events / called from udev for /proc/bus/usb devices.
with rsdl 0.30 added to the kernel I no longer get called for those devices
(but I do get called for the new /dev/usbdev devices - except that I can't use 
them).

any idea why and what to do? might be related to a race condition.

I can also provide kernel config, dmesg, etc. whatever.
system is x86 with ubuntu edgy installed. I noticed the problem
with openct - the udev helper doesn't get spawned with the rsdl
kernel, while it does get spawned with the normal kernel.

sounds like http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8166#c32

further debugging shows at least udev->openct is missing an event:
udev events on 2.6.20.2 (without rsdl):
( "$ACTION - $DEVICE - $DEVNAME - $PRODUCT - $$ - $PPID")
add - /proc/bus/usb/002/016 -  - 8e6/3438/100 - 6071 - 6065
add -  - /dev/usbdev2.16_ep02 -  - 6116 - 6113
add -  - /dev/usbdev2.16_ep82 -  - 6118 - 6114
add -  - /dev/usbdev2.16_ep81 -  - 6120 - 6115

udev events on 2.6.20.2 (with rsdl): 
( "$ACTION - $DEVICE - $DEVNAME - $PRODUCT - $$ - $PPID")
add -  - /dev/usbdev2.8_ep02 -  - 5287 - 5286
add -  - /dev/usbdev2.8_ep82 -  - 5290 - 5288
add -  - /dev/usbdev2.8_ep81 -  - 5291 - 5289

the /proc event is missing. in both cases /proc/ was mounted.

syslog with udev on debugging (only the /proc event from the kernel w/o
rsdl):

there is something similar in syslog (on the rsdl kernel):
Mar 15 11:24:32 localhost udevd[2607]: udev_event_run: seq 2717 forked, pid
[5284], 'add' 'usb', 0 seconds old
Mar 15 11:24:32 localhost udevd-event[5284]: wait_for_sysfs:

Mar 15 11:24:32 localhost udevd-event[5284]: run_program: '/sbin/modprobe'

Mar 15 11:24:32 localhost udevd-event[5284]: pass_env_to_socket: passed -1

Mar 15 11:24:32 localhost udevd[2607]: udev_done: seq 2717, pid [5284] exit
with 1, 0 seconds old

so I guess it might be a udev bug, as it wait_for_sysfs in both cases,
but doesn't trigger openct if the kernel has rsdl. as the hardware is the
same and the openct rules for udev didn't change.

Thanks, I'm taking the issue to the hotplug mailing list.
