Description Harald Hoyer 2011-05-25 12:33:52 UTC
From: Harald Hoyer <harald>

At the start of auditd, we are temporarily not able to read
from the fanotify fd. Ignoring it, seems to work.

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2011-05-25 15:09:55 UTC
ok, seems to be a kernel bug... reassigning.

Comment 2 Lennart Poettering 2011-05-25 19:11:24 UTC
I have no applied Harald's fix to work around the problem for now. It's also in F15.

Comment 3 Josh Boyer 2012-06-06 13:02:40 UTC
Did this ever get worked on/fixed?

Don't know.. might still be present

Comment 5 Harald Hoyer 2012-06-06 17:58:28 UTC
current systemd-readahead-collect works around the "bug"

                if ((n = read(fanotify_fd, &data, sizeof(data))) < 0) {

                        if (errno == EINTR || errno == EAGAIN)
                                continue;

                        /* fanotify sometimes returns EACCES on read()
                         * where it shouldn't. For now let's just
                         * ignore it here (which is safe), but
                         * eventually this should be
                         * dropped when the kernel is fixed.
                         *

                        if (errno == EACCES)
                                continue;

                        log_error("Failed to read event: %m");
                        r = -errno;
                        goto finish;
                }

It's still there.  Man I'm a bad maintainer.

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 14:49:37 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Comment 8 Justin M. Forbes 2013-04-05 19:55:15 UTC
Is this still an issue with the 3.9 kernels in F19?

Comment 9 Justin M. Forbes 2013-04-23 17:24:44 UTC
This bug is being closed with INSUFFICIENT_DATA as there has not been a
response in 2 weeks.  If you are still experiencing this issue,
please reopen and attach the relevant data from the latest kernel you are
running and any data that might have been requested previously.
