* stress-procfs/sysfs: abort on read errors (LP: #1629843) - EINTR and EAGAIN errors were doing re-reads and this can get stuck forever for example on some procfs files and when SIGALRM occurred, so don't re-read, just abort the reads. -- Colin King <colin.k...@canonical.com> Mon, 3 Oct 2016 12:25:34 +0100 ** Changed in: stress-ng (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1629843 Title: procfs and sysfs stressors can get caught in an infinite loop on EINTR or EAGAIN read errors To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/stress-ng/+bug/1629843/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
