Instead of using the uevent helper binary, mdev daemon listens for kernel events using the netlink interface. Then the requirement of enabling UEVENT_HELPER for pmOS kernels can be dropped, as it's use is discouraged. From CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER kernel config help: > This should not be used today, because usual systems create many events > at bootup or device discovery in a very short time frame. One forked > process per event can create so many processes that it creates a high > system load, or on smaller systems it is known to create out-of-memory > situations during bootup. Support for running mdev as a daemon was added in 2019 with commit [1]. From that same commit: > Adds the -d option to run mdev in daemon mode handling hotplug events > from the kernel like udev. If the system generates many hotplug events > this mode of operation will consume less resources than registering > mdev as hotplug helper or using the uevent applet.
