Re: [PATCH v3] nodedev: ignore EINVAL from libudev in udevEventHandleThread

From: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt(a)canonical.com&gt; Certain udev entries might be of a size that makes libudev emit EINVAL which right now leads to udevEventHandleThread exiting. Due to no more handling events other elements of libvirt will start pushing for events to be consumed which never happens causing a busy loop burning a cpu without any gain. After evaluation of the example case discussed in in #245 and a test run ignoring EINVAL it was considered safe to add EINVAL to the ignored errnos to not exit udevEventHandleThread giving it more resilience. The root cause is in systemd and by now was discussed and fixed via https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/24987, but hardening libvirt to be able to better deal with EINVAL returned still is the right thing to avoid the reported busy loops on systemd with older systemd versions.
