Description Jordan Russell 2004-06-04 22:18:58 UTC
Description of problem:
When you run "lsof" on kernel-2.6.5-1.358 after upgrading an RPM
containing shared libraries that were in use, it doesn't show the
libraries that were replaced as unlinked mapped files ("DEL"); instead
it displays them as regular files ("REG"). This problem does not exist
when lsof is run on a stock 2.6.6 kernel.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lsof-4.68-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See who's using libk5crypto.so.3.0.

# lsof | fgrep /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3.0

2. Upgrade the krb5-* packages to a new version.

# rpm -Fvh krb5-{libs,devel}-1.3.3-7.i386.rpm

3. Immediately after upgrading the shared libraries, again see who's
using libk5crypto.so.3.0.

# lsof | fgrep /usr/lib/libk5crypto.so.3.0

Actual Results:  
With kernel-2.6.5-1.358, the second lsof prints "REG" in the type
column. This is wrong since the file was unlinked/replaced, and the
daemons using the file were never restarted.

Expected Results:
With a stock 2.6.6 kernel, the second lsof prints "DEL" in the type
column, indicating an unlinked mapped file. This is correct.

Comment 2 Jordan Russell 2004-06-11 19:46:14 UTC
Update:

The problem also exists on kernel-2.6.6-1.427 and stock 2.6.7-rc3.

Again, stock 2.6.6 works fine.

Comment 3 Dave Jones 2004-11-27 20:22:00 UTC
mass update for old bugs:

Is this still a problem with the 2.6.9 based update kernel ?

Comment 5 Jordan Russell 2004-12-08 17:31:14 UTC
I can no longer reproduce the problem with 2.6.9 on FC 3. Appears
either the kernel or the FC upgrade fixed this.
