If it supports all the execution properties of mdev it would be perfect for me to import it into nldev and make an nldevd, which would be the true replacement for udevd. Try to cache the result of regcomp(). This will speed up things in large trees. For being a competitor. When designing any replacement for udevd, keep in mind that due to that permission misdesign in Linux your daemon has to manage some 10 thousand devices in a huge server in under a minute. This can’t be done linearly and is why udevd keeps a queue of worker processes. Sincerely, Christoph Lohmann
