Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] nodedev: udev: Drop udev monitor fd check in udevEventHandleCallback

We do perform that magical check every time an event is received, but unless we explicitly unref'd or disconnected the monitor, we should not get a spurious event from a different source. Signed-off-by: Erik Skultety <eskultet(a)redhat.com&gt; --- This is just a poke patch, since I also checked libudev's source and still fail to understand why we need that check. Unless entered by *_monitor_unref with the last reference or with *monitor_disconnect, libudev doesn't change the fd arbitrarily. So the only reason for us to check for that would be if we disconnected from our side, but didn't unregister the callback in which case it was our responsibility to clean up properly and we shouldn't get to the callback in the first place. Thanks for comments in advance.
