I've created a test package in a PPA with two patches applied. These do not affect any public API or ABI. One is the move to utilizing file descriptors and openat, the other the cherry-picked fix. I wasn't able to work up a patch with just the cherry-pick safely and easily.
I tried to create a reliable reproducer without further patching and didn't have much success. Essentially just a "proc hammer" spinning up processes. I don't have a beefy machine available, so i don't think the process create/delete pressure is enough on my machine to cause a "miss." If anyone has a reliable reproducer and can test the PPA, it'd be incredibly helpful https://launchpad.net/~jchittum/+archive/ubuntu/procps-lp2120904 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2120904 Title: top/ps crashes on high process creation/deletion pressure To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/2120904/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
