Roland McGrath: o fix bogus ECHILD return from wait* with zombie group leader I'm not sure this is the fix, but it is possible indeed, given that the problem UML triggered was, IIRC, that when it exited, there wasn't a proper cleanup of the status, and the process became invisible but still kept a reference to the file in /tmp, preventing it from being deleted... The changelog does not mention our particular bug it but there is a good reason for not mentioning it, and it's related to TASK_TRACED which is *the* problem in 2.6.9 with UML. I think you can search for it on linux.bkbits.net... I'll do that when I have time... However, I've received (after 2.6.10) the answer from Roland McGrath (ptrace coder / maintainer) about this problem, and he sent two more patches for this, which I'll bundle in next SKAS as a temp. solution and forward to you... I'll check if it is a complete solution. > Can somebody else on the list help me to identify the patch for > this "problem with /tmp filling irreversibly and being unable to > unmount /tmp" bugfix?
