I am in need of a method (udev rule and/or script) that will effectively suppress a kernel event that is crashing my display manager.
I have been successful suppressing the kernel event manually by:
udevadm control -s # Suspend queue processing
<blah blah> # Do whatever triggers the kernel event
sleep x # Wait for event to queue (udevadm monitor -k)
udevadm control -e # Clobber udevd (don't worry, it auto restarts)
However, this is heavy handed, usually drops several unrelated events, and lacks automation or elegance.
At one time, there was a udev OPTION "ignore_device" but this was apparently removed in 2009 according to the release 148 notes.
