[PATCH] udevd - switch socket path to abstract namespace
As Chris Friesen <chris_friesen@sympatico.ca> suggested, here we switch the unix domains socket path to abstract namespace and get rid of the socket file in the filesystem. Hey, this was new to me today. So here a few words: Linux supports a abstract namespace for sockets. We don't need a physical file on the filesystem but only a unique string magically starting with the '\0' character. strace with real file: connect(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, path="/udev/.udevd.sock"}, 110) strace with abstract namespace: connect(3, {sa_family=AF_UNIX, path=@udevd}, 110)
