Re: udev: Why non-blocking poll() with blocking recvmsg()?

Note that this is an Ubuntu specific program.

It *assumed* a blocking socket, but didn't make sure that it actually
was. Originally libudev used blocking sockets, but at some point [1]
this was switched to non-blocking by default, and wait-for-root needed
to be adjusted to that. Please see https://launchpad.net/bugs/1154813,
it's fixed in newer Ubuntu releases.
