udev-worker takes up 100% of a core

I'm going to be honest, I have no idea what's going on, but it's really infuriating since I need my device to be able to last some time away from the wall, and udev-worker is just eating my battery up.
Here are the dmesg and journalctl logs.

As a side note, before being disabled, the tools TLP and auto-cpufreq seemed to spam the journalctl logs when the error started, but it still occurs after both have been disabled.

As always, please ask if I need to provide more logs, as I have no idea what's wrong.

(please excuse my usage of multiple pastebin services)

Edit: I have done some testing, and can confirm that it does happen in the lts kernel as well as the base kernel.

This is gonna be some udev rule, most likely one you added.
Rings a bell?

Edit: tlp looks (auto)mount related, but that could be random.

Thanks seth, turns out it was one of those rules. I'll just try to figure out which one it was then mark as solved for anyone in the future.
Edit: yea that's what I was going to do but thanks for the reminder

Ideally also post the offending rule (as an example for problematic patterns or in case you seek help with it. Not just to feed my curiosity. … "just" )
