Thank you, Chris and Serguei, for reviewing this change. I did more testing with a test program on Linux that repeats get_namespace_pid() method and reads from the real file ( the copy of /proc/<pid>/status). I paused the program after the first several lines ( but not "NSpid:" line) where processed and deleted all lines in the status file before " NSpid: ..." line in order to this line became the first in the edited file. After that the program continues in the while loop but it seems as the original file content was already buffered and the program just continues over the original unedited lines and successfully found the match.

I wonder if it can return a false negative because it never saw the matching line. This could happen if a line gets deleted, causing the matching line to suddenly be earlier in the file, possibly before the current location being read. Anyway, that's not really related to the current issue or fix, but if you think it might be an issue maybe a bug should be filed for it.thanks, Chris On 6/19/19 9:02 PM, Daniil Titov wrote:> Please review the change that fixes an intermittent failure of serviceability/dcmd/framework/* tests on Linux platform. > > The problem here is that get_namespace_pid() method, that is called by mmap_attach_shared () that in turn is called by PerfMemory::attach(), > tries to read the namespace pid information from /proc/<pid>/status file.
