[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#791944: My workaround

[Theppitak Karoonboonyanan]

Hi,

I've suffered from this problem for almost a year, I guess.
Thanks to the clue I got from this bug report, I've come up with
a quick hack for my own machine: by telling sendsigs to omit
systemd-udevd when killing processes:

--- /etc/init.d/udev.orig    2016-10-10 09:40:47.937302585 +0700
+++ /etc/init.d/udev    2016-10-10 09:42:59.701304680 +0700
@@ -203,6 +203,14 @@
     else
     log_action_end_msg 0 'timeout'
     fi
+
+    # Omit systemd-udevd on halt to allow cryptsetup to do the close
+    UDEVD_PID=$(pidof $DAEMON)
+    if [ ! -z "$UDEVD_PID" ]; then
+        OMITDIR=/run/sendsigs.omit.d
+        mkdir -p $OMITDIR
+        echo $UDEVD_PID > $OMITDIR/udev
+    fi
     ;;

     stop)

With this patch to /etc/init.d/udev, my machine (using sysvinit)
shuts down successfully again.

Is the fix reasonable for udev?

Regards,
