GHA runners occasionally experience I/O constraints during root-test test execution. While concurrent tests rapidly allocate loopback devices, background udev probing stalls. This quickly exhausts systemd-udevd's default worker pool ceiling (20 children max), stalling netlink uevent processing so device-mapper device nodes are never created for subsequent dm-verity test execution. Logging cgroups v2 pids.peak telemetry confirmed peak in-flight udev workers accumulate to 325 during test execution. Raising the children-max limit to 500 provides comfortable buffer room so udevd freely spawns worker processes without entering event lockup or causing test timeouts.
