^Sounds a bit too generic, as an event based algorithm is not forced to open a socket without O_NONBLOCK - just put something like "older platforms' libudev opens sockets without the NONBLOCK flag which might cause issues with event based algorithm" or something alike in there.

I haven't looked into this at all so I might be missing something entirely obvious, but I'd just like to point out that we no longer target RHEL 6 / CentOS 6, so any issue that's specific to those platforms we no longer have to concern ourselves with. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
