From: Matt Cowell <[email protected]>
Some symlinks in /proc, such as those under /proc/[pid]/fd,
/proc/[pid]/cwd, and /proc/[pid]/exe that are not real and should not
have readlink called on them. These look like symlinks, but behave like
hardlinks. Readlink does not return actual paths. Previously
pseudo_fix_path would expand files such as /dev/stdin to paths such as
/proc/6680/fd/pipe:[1270830076] which do not exist.
This issue affects:
- deleted files
- deleted directories
- fifos
- sockets
- anon_inodes (epoll, eventfd, inotify, signalfd, timerfd, etc)
Testing:
- run_tests: all tests passed (3 tests check the new code path).
Checked test output to make sure the new codepath gets executed.
- perftest: measured time before and after applying the patch
had insignificant differences (roughly ~1%)
- world build: completed without warning/errors
