Currently, the module loader sends a uevent right after sysfs initialization, but before the module calls its init function. However, some udev rules expect that the module has initialized already upon receiving the uevent. This race has been triggered recently (see link in references) in some systemd mount unit files. For instance, the configfs module creates the /sys/kernel/config mount point in its init function, however the module loader issues the uevent before this happens. sys-kernel-config.mount expects to be able to mount /sys/kernel/config upon receipt of the module loading uevent, but if the configfs module has not called its init function yet, then this directory will not exist and the mount unit fails. A similar situation exists for sys-fs-fuse-connections.mount, as the fuse sysfs mount point is created during the fuse module's init function. If udev is faster than module initialization then the mount unit would fail in a similar fashion. To fix this race, delay the module KOBJ_ADD uevent until after the module has finished calling its init routine.
