The events generated by the kernel may arrive in random order +in userspace, that makes it neccessary to reorder it. +.br +.B udevd +takes care of the kernel supplied sequence number and arranges the events for +execution in the correct order.

All further events for the same device +are delayed until the execution is finished.
