Subject: fanotify: don't merge permission events
Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2013 20:41:13 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130924204113.4621d61a@mdontu-l> (raw)
Ben, Greg,
Can you pull this[1] patch into your stable kernels (3.2, 3.4)? It
fixes an unfortunate bug in fanotify where a multithreaded application
can end up in an interruptible state, a situation which only a reboot
can fix. Ultimately, I'm hoping that the fix ends up in Ubuntu's
kernels (for which I have also created a request[2]).
Thank you,
